Haddington 10K & Half Marathon

Entry is now open for both the Haddington 10k and the Haddington Half.
Remember that not only are these great races and well organised but
they are also bang on our own doorstep - so there's no excuse for not
doing them!
Oh. And they are both club championship races this year (and "points
mean prizes")

10K 2nd June 3pm
Half 18th August 2pm

Both can be entered via http://www.entrycentral.com

London 2012

Hi,

 

To add to Anne's summary of the London Marathon this year, it was a great event and I was glad to have one of the club places and experience it for myself.

 

It turned out to be almost perfect weather on the day, with the toilet queues fractionally shorter than the race distance. The start was very busy, taking about 20 minutes to clear the first 2 miles, but it stretched out a bit after that. After giving up on catching the Kenyans, I settled down into my planned pace until the last few miles when the occasion, or possibly the previous 21 miles, started to get the better of me. In the end I was 69 seconds over my target, but not going to complain about that - Especially with the surprise that welcomed me after the race (pic hopefully attached).

London Marathon

Sure a few people would have watched the event today trying to spot a few familiar vests......

 

Lee Curtis was first Dunbar runner home in 3:31:09, with first time marathoners Andy Sheldrick and Katy Gardiner crossing the finishing line in 3:39:06 and 4:46:14 respectively.  A very big well done and hope there will be a bit of celebrating going on post race - well deserved.

Barcelona

Well done to Seonaid Hudson who ran the Barcelona Marathon on 25th
March in 4:21:33 while still making the recovery from a broken foot!
Well done Seonaid. The weather, it has to be said, was nothing like
what we experienced last night - it was unseasonably hot and sunny
(like a British summer?).

Thought I'd try mucking about with the video camera. I managed to get most
runners but the battery went for the last ones..sorry about that. Hope you
like it.
