Truly Inspirational.

View this email in your browser There is so much more to our club than being a home for those of us who just want to run around a track or compete in a local road race, as worthwhile as those pursuits are. There can be no better illustration of this fact than the truly inspirational exploits of 3 of the younger members of the club, a decathlete, a heptathlete and an Enduro triathlete, which for the uninitiated is a triathlon with swim, bike, run and then dive straight back in and do it again! Go figure. This week's newsletter features the heroics of these 3 talented athletes - Adam Farrow, Charlotte Gravelsons and Charly Marshall. There's lots of other stuff for you to read and hopefully enjoy. Blimey I know I had a week off but you guys have been pretty busy doing lots of really varied stuff. Well done and keep it coming. Many thanks to those of you who opened last week's photo special on the Club Championships. The newsletter had close to 900 openings, an unprecedented amount. Mind you the championships were just a little bit special weren't they? For those of you who haven't seen it, there's a nice piece in this week's Herald on those Championships. Well done to Chris Cooper for getting it placed and thanks as ever to The Herald for their continued support. There are still a few road race reports to come. Unfortunately for Stu George, life has somewhat got in the way of athletics this week but he assures me that normal service will be resumed next week. That's what happens when you have a big new job and babies I guess. In the rest of this week's edition we have Philippa Paddock's Great North Run report, run in aid of the Twins Trust. Please read about this worthwhile charity in the link at the end of Philippa's piece. We have Simon Taylor's entertaining and informative round up of all things triathlon, with individual triathlon reports from Richard Eden and Becky Loftus. Seth Turner reports on his Richmond Half as he closes in on the Manchester Marathon. Ian Greaves tells us about his Brighton Marathon experience. I sometimes think we should have a separate newsletter for the exploits of the ageless Phil Brennan. This week there's just the 3 of his races! Races from as far apart as Richmond and Jarrow. more medals, more superlative performances. Words fail. There's a reminder of the dates for the forthcoming and much anticipated West Midlands Young Athletes Cross Country League and boy are our youngsters fit and raring to go. Look out the rest of the teams in the league, Stratford are coming after you. At the other end of the age spectrum we have Peter Coote's summary of this season's individual vets T&F performances and lastly…
