Reports
No report from the Dark Nights or Marks Sunday run but I had a great day out at the Exeter Chiefs V Wasps and can't remember a lot but the score was 35-35. Thanks for those that emailed me the Race reports as it helps a lot and please can more Club members do the same.
Cheers
The Hurdle
A group of Yeovil town runners braved the cold and ran the hurtle this morning with one running the half marathon. It felt strange "only" running the 5 mile (about 4.6 miles actually) when there was a half up for grabs but I'm after a hat this year and the 5 mile races are limited, plus I was away on business this week (4 countries in 5 days) so I was a little tired this morning!
A good course and a "nice" (?) hill around the 2 mile mark just to get the heart pumping to keep warm (Paul's 2 ascents of forest hill on Tuesday night runs may have helped!).
The Full Results can be seen here.
From Emma Machen:
We did it! First race of the year and I got my first medal!

Lychett 10
From Kev Doherty:
10 YTRRC members braved the cold and travelled to the Lytchett 10 this
morning.
I think for several of us this was our first time at this event – it was
advertised
as hilly so no suprise .. it was hilly ... and cold .. but we soon
warmed up.
decent support through couple points in high street etc.
First Yeovil runner home was Paul Card in 26 place ( P.B i think he said
).
Jon Crane was 71st with a very good time ( if he was a gentleman he would
run around with Joanne ).
Me and Barnaby had a great race today – both set off too fast !! he would
leave me on up hills and I catch up on down hills 2 seconds separated us at the end – Jo was not as quick as last year !! She
drank too much last night!! excuses !!
Good to see Helen Nesbitt back at some races after several months of
reduced running due to injury ( Paul was gonna make her walk home if she did sub 1:30 !! ) She
might still be walking now !
Linda , Joanne , Lindsay and Alan also completed the run. well done to all.
No medal .... Boo ... but a little bag to put my false teeth into
when I’m older.

Oxford Park Run
Another Saturday morning, another Oxford parkrun. With a light dusting of snow on the ground I headed off in my beloved YTRRC vest. Upon arriving at the car park a variety of runners and outfits assembled in the park. (Some were more suitably dressed for St. Moritz not a 5k on a Saturday!) Nevertheless, I jumped out the car in just my shorts, t-shirt, vest and gloves thinking it’s actually warmer than I thought. A change of the normal course with just three very flat laps to complete, meaning it was slightly easier to pace. A finish time of 22:21 which isn’t my best of the year to date but another enjoyable morning run representing YTRRC. From your Cotswold Correspondent, James!

Great Western
Great Western 10k - Sunday 12th March
Only four weeks to go so time to get your entry forms in - don't forget it's a Club Championship race. We also need a few helpers namely:
Saturday 9am at Leweston School to set up the course. Last year it worked really well by having enough helpers to split into 3 groups which meant the setting up was done fairly quickly. If we could do the same this year that would be great.
Sunday
Phil usually likes to run the course early (time TBC but by 8am at a guess) making sure everything is in order on the course so if anyone would like to join him I'm sure he'd like your company
1 sweeper to assist Lynne
2 people on the computer to input on-the-day entries and input results
A few people to help generally beforehand, mainly to give out numbers to pre-entered runners and to take on-the-day entries (these people will also be available to run)
A few people to help after the race clearing up, making sure all markers/flags are back, packing up and helping re-load the trailer (these people are also available to run first).
The Rotary Club provide all the marshals which enables us to have loads of runners, so please get your entry forms in to support one of our own races as well as supporting the Rotary's charity.
Entries to me or pass on to Helen on a Tuesday club run. Entry forms can be found on http://www.yeoviltownrrc.
Please let me know if you can help and in what capacity (lesley.218@hotmail.co.uk or FB message)
Many thanks

Marks Runs
SANDFORD ORCAS PUB RUN
Tonight we passed the church and headed towards Marston Magna, but took the left turn and ran through Rimpton. We passed Heaven's Door and got to the cross roads at the white post. Next was Adber where we went left and ran up the hill. The icey cold wind was at it's strongest here and It was cool. Crossing over at the top we then descended back down to Sandford Orcas, where the church bells were ringing. Thanks Phil for the 5.6 mile run. Nice pub, and good food as well. The 4 mile drive back afterwards was sublime. Very wild and yet so close to Sherborne.
