France, a Bee or a Spiderman


Bournemouth Marathon

Today saw 5 YTRRC runners take part in the Bournemouth Marathon, and although some bloke from Kenya may have won the race there was really only one winner. Helen Nesbitt had a great race and managed 3:41 so got her Good For Age. She was on for a sub 3 but the wind pushed her back a bit. Helen was also the first Green and White over the line.

Full results can be seen here.


Nice T-Shirt and Bling



Chester Marathon

Lynne went up to Chester for their Marathon and is now well on her way to 100 marathons.


Beautiful day in Chester, lovely route and great to run with Gary, who paced, and completed his 100th marathon today. Number 10 in bag for the year so far.


Clarendon Marathon

We has a few runners at this event and nice to see Terry there as well. No results on their website yet.


This in from Richard:

A few of us went to sunny Burnham-on-Sea to do the Half Marathon. No medal and no T-Shirt but the course and Marshalls were nice. Some of us were fast and some not so fast but we all got round!

401

As I mentioned last week Ben Smith ran the Yeovil Marathon Route on Friday and some of the Club ran some of it with Ben. They all had a good run and Ben made them all feel welcome and from all of Yeovil Town Road Running Club we wish him well for the rest of the Challenge. You can see his progress at his website. I also saw Ben twice at Bournemouth today and he was running well and said hello as we passed.   






Daphne Barfoot:

Had the privilege to run a half marathon with this incredible chap this morning. Only my 6th run at this distance, but Ben ran the other half and is running a marathon for 401 consecutive days. This was day 32.
I am by no means a fast or even confident runner but at no time was I made to feel I was holding him and the others up, in fact Ben told me off more than once for saying sorry when I needed a walk!!



London Marathon

Last week saw the Magazines dropping through the letterbox or an email. It was either a happy runner or a Spiderman. Those that have had the sad news need to read the Clubs policy on the Club Ballot on the website.
