Another remarkable weekend

It was that sort of a weekend. 1-2-3. In the 75H U13 Boys, Linden Williams (14.21) won Gold, James Verralls (15.60) Silver and Freddie Williams (15.72) Bronze. Back at base camp after the Hilly 100. It was another remarkable weekend in the life of our wonderful club. With the Warwickshire County Track and Field Championships coinciding with our very own Hilly 100, there were well over 150 of you competing, marshalling, officiating or coaching at these two superb events and that's not counting the number of parents and supporters. Please read Paul Bearman's extensive and exhaustive report on the Warwickshire County Championships. With club members winning a record haul of 83, yes 83 medals and with the club securing a staggering winning margin of well over 300 points, those of you who spent the weekend at Pingles Stadium in Nuneaton were well and truly rewarded. The ever popular and unique Hilly 100 proved to be a huge success once again and that is no mean achievement. The organisation of this event is a feat in itself. Phil Brennan's report gives you all the details and there were several of you who shared your thoughts of the day with him and these have also been included. There's also Fern Hordern's own report on her latest Duathlon success, this time in Denmark. I'm aware that at this time of the year there are lots of Triathlons and Duathlons happening and I would rally welcome reports on these. Reporting on these technical events is way above my pay grade. After the weekend's activities, Monday evening at the High School track saw the latest recruits to our well established Couch to 5k programme start their journey towards completing a parkrun in 9 weeks time. What a wonderful and enthusiastic bunch they are. It was great to see that this latest group of some 25 were being supported by a couple of graduates from previous C25K groups, with Chris Bloomfield and Karen Harris keen to share their experiences.Alongside them were qualified coaches Sally Bliss and Martyn Sergent. Enjoy the rest of the warm weather and do remember to hydrate. Kind Regards David Jones. Jack Sumners and Lewis Byng, who along with Thomas Weaver set new County records.
