September 9, 2014 - Romsey Road Runners

A number of RRRs took part in this season’s Lakeside 5km series. This 5k sprint series is run at Hilsea Lido, Portsmouth on Wednesday evenings, over the summer. The final race took place on 27^th August.

Tam Ryan completed 4 out of the 5 races. “After a frustrating first race and a disastrous final one, I managed to get my time down to 20:34, which is a personal best,” said Tam.

In the fourth race Tam came in as 3rd lady winning her age category in the overall series.

The Lakeside 5k series saw a number of other RRRs participating, with an especially large turn out at the last one.

Completing the final race for Romsey were: Jade Rolfe 20:17, Wayne Windebank 20:57, Paul Burnage 21:06, Tam Ryan 21:22, John Quayle 21:44 and Di Cross 24:39.

Monday 8 September saw the club’s annual 5km handicap challenge play out round the streets of Braishfield.

Throughout the summer, members of the club ran in one or more of three separate 5km time trials to set the best time they can. Using these results the club’s session leaders set a handicap time for each individual that they are then challenged to try and beat. The runner who beats their handicap by the greatest margin lifts the coveted trophy.

This year saw 33 members toe the start line with only 11 managing to beat the handicap. Well done to everybody who took part, but the all important results are…

Jo Weguelin came in 3rd with a time gap of 27 seconds, narrowly pipped to 2nd by Tony Peelo with a time gap of 28 seconds. But our winner on the night, and this years club champion, was Haly Nomm in a time of 00:24:30 and most importantly 39 seconds below her handicap time.
