Weston Athletic Club - Christmas Cracker  Results click here 

Windy, bloody windy that's all I have to say about the Christmas cracker....It was a shame because there was a good chance of getting PB's on Sunday.. never mind will try better@ Bromham this Sunday (another very fast course) Good turn out by KIT@ weston on sunday but would liked to have seen the likes of Rich, Lee etc with their running shoes on. One of these days I'm going to try and keep up with Mr Spedding!!!!! Overall good race My finishing time 39mins 37secs pos 29th winning time 36mins 11secs(gives you an indication of the conditions, winner was hoping to come home in 32mins!!) 

                                                                                            - James (Will try harder) Hall.

I actually made it to an event and enjoyed it. My somewhat dodgy training regime needs seriously looking at !! again . I really enjoyed it I took 50 mins 27 secs. A bit slower than last year but with only 3 short jogs in 3 weeks I wasn't expecting a world record. However, it was windy, always in front of you never behind you! I hope you're feeling better soon with your leg. CU soon.             Cheers Ian Gillard

Race Report from Caroline Barter

Thoroughly enjoyed the slog. Weather conditions were probably about right for the event, although a touch misty on higher ground. It's almost three years since I did any real multi terrain running and I was a little worried about negotiating various forms of shiggy - bogs, rivers, cow shit etc. But there was no need to worry, I loved it. 

It was very reminiscent of my days with the Hash House Harriers, just the booze up afterwards was missing. I'll be doing more over the winter months for sure. Well done to everyone else from KIT who competed. And many thanks to the KIT member who helped me to my feet (even though I wasn't wearing a KIT vest - sorry must get one) after I skidded around a tight downhill bend on my bum. Oh yes - I was 449th in a time of 1:42:10. 

All the best - hope to see you competing soon. Caroline

FLASH RESULT - HALF IRONMAN UK, LLANBERIS

RACE REPORT HIMUK - Eric 'the eel' Downey HTML version (47kb) 

Richard JONES and Annie EMMERSON won Half Ironman UK 2002 in Llanberis, North Wales today defeating strong international fields. 

A strong bike leg saw Richard catch the field and then hold a lead he gained out of transition 2. Annie, a GB international runner was seven minutes down on leader Beth THOMSON as she left transition 2 but her superior running ability enabled her to move to the front of the field on the final run section.
