14 March - Dentdale. Four Harriers
travelled to Dentdale for this scenic trail/road race, Tim reports
the weather was absolutely perfect and that the course is best
classed as "undulating" (now there's a relative term!) apart from
the last mile - a bit hilly apparently! You get a mug of tea
and cakes/rolls afterwards, so all in all it sounds like a great
event. Well done to all.

06 March - Las Vegas Red Rock
Marathon/Half-Marathon. Never one to do things by halves,
Wendy Marks and Steve Marks combined a trip to Las Vegas (something
to do with a Bon Jovi Concert) with a crack at this very scenic and
tough race. Here's what Wendy has to say about the race:
"
.....Given that I had only eaten on 2 of the 7 days prior to
the race, it was probably not the best prep for the toughest road
half I have done. The course has an elevation of 1,000ft with
highest point of route at about 4,800feet, so a bit of altitude to
contend with too! The first 9 miles are uphill followed by a
screaming downhill last 4 - a killer on the quads! Still, I
did it in a time of 1:53:58 and came 6th lady over 40 (which was
apparently the most competitive category!) and finished in the top
100! So, all in all am very pleased. Given what other people
said, the course was about 13-15 minutes slower than their PBs so
given how ill I had been I am very pleased as the time is only
about 15 mins off my PB. The route was amazing and the scenery
stunning - I could have done with a camera to take some pics.
As I was flying downhill at the 10 mile mark with these huge red
cliffs to my side and Bon Jovi blasting on my iPod I thought - "it
doesn't get better than this" !
Sounds good Wendy! It probably doesn't
get much better than that. Link to

06 March - Trollers Trot 25. Roy
Hunter did very well at this event, finishing in a creditable 12th
place with a time of 3:36. He's been busy with other races
too, competing in the Gran Canaria Marathon on 24th Jan
(unfortunately he had to withdraw after 14 miles due to illness), on
the 6th February he did the Wadsworth Trog 20 Fell Race (53rd/4:14:36) and he
also braved the North Yorkshire Moors Tandem 27 miles on 20th
February in an "unofficial" time of 4:43. It was unofficial
because the proper event was cancelled due to snow! Well done
Roy.
28 February - Noon Stone Fell Race. Ben
Grant competed in this stage of the English Fell Running
Championships, finishing 3rd in the M60 category with a time of
1:27:24.
28 February - Snake Lane 10, Pocklington.
A swirling, cold headwind didn't lend itself to personal bests,
however that's just what Emma Bennet achieved, slicing 2.5 minutes
off her PB despite the conditions! Tim Broomfield was first
home for the club, while Sue Simpson was first female Harrier, with
a very creditable 7th position in her category (you did pretty good
too Tim!).

31 January - Tough Guy - Tough gal
Angela Peace finished 7th female overall thereby solidifying her
place as the toughest person I know. The Tough Guy, an 8-mile
obstacle course (an understatement if ever there was one), even
made the New York Daily News (here).
Well done, Angela!

24 January - York Knavesmire Brass Monkey
Half Marathon - Despite the artic conditions that have
enveloped the country for the past month or so, the weather could
not have been much better for the annual Brass Monkey Half Marathon
in York. The favourable conditions helped many Harriers to excellent
performances. None were faster that Andrew Grant, the first of 43
club members to cross the finish line in a (chip) time of 1:18:01.
He was followed by Richard Hamilton (1:21:41) and John Young
(1:26:00). The first female finisher for the club was Caroline
Turner in 1:31:58 followed by Sue Simpson (1:37:29, 14th F45) and
Angela Peace (1:38:33).
Other highlights included:
- Tony Essex -7th/45 in the M60 category, 1:33:46
- John Buckler - 9th/45 M60, 1:35:35
- Julie Elmes - 2:10:00, a PR by over 17 minutes!
- Mick Shakespeare - 4th club finisher in 1:27:18
