Very little competitive running in 2006, with Rosemarie struggling with her 'dead' leg.

Doone Run

17th Sep 200611.5 miles, off-road, hills
Venue: Lynton, Devon.
Travelling time: about 3 hours.
Weather: Heavy showers before race.
Comments: Our 7th visit, details just the same as last year.
Rosemarie still got 'dead' left leg and walking all up-hills, but enjoyable event anyway.
Age-groups: Up to MV60, FV55
Results:
Rosemarie's time even worse than last year,
most surprised to get 1st v55!


Hardley half-marathon

15th Oct 2006Road
Venue: Southampton.
Travelling time: 45mins.
Weather: Sunny.
Comments: Alec went for the NFR club championship event.
Managed to complete it, even with sore hamstring.
Age-groups: 10-year groups both M and F
Results:
Alec 2h:05m:28s (2nd v70)


Stickler

29th Oct 200610.1 miles, off-road, hills (a.k.a Dorset 3 Peaks)
Venue: Shillingstone, Dorset.
Travelling time: about 1 hour.
Weather: Warm, sunny.
Comments: Having persuaded first-timers Vince and Graham that there would be lots of that 'lovely' mud, and threatening they might need water-wings at the river crossing, it was unusually dry this year (can we blame global-warming?). I stuck with my pre-planned tactic of walking up every gradient, since my dodgy leg still won't push uphill, but I had plenty of company.
Alec and John Hunt both had to retire half-way with injury.
Age-groups: Up to MV60, FV60
Results:
Several NFR runners there - selected results:
Vincent Gagaro 1h:33m:05s
Rosemarie 1h:38m:44s (1st v60 - surprise!)
Graham Paddy 1h:39m:54s
Chris Hunt 1h:45m:19s (3rd v60)


Xmas pud 10k

10th Dec 2006Road
Venue: Burton.
Travelling time: 10mins.
Weather: Cold, cloudy, windy.
Comments: Rosemarie entered this back in June, hoping leg might have improved by now. Decided to participate anyway, even though leg still bad.
Managed to complete it, a lot slower than usual of course, but only walked a couple of times.
Age-groups: 10-year groups both M and F
Results:
Rosemarie 50m:55s (2nd v60)
