January Round-Up
2010 has started relatively quietly for UKnetrunner. The obvious highlight was the Not The Roman IX 12k, where Pearce Phillips, Jon Hullis and Pete Stockdale scooped the men's team 3rd place award. There was a large attendance of UKnetrunners (fit and injured) for the annual handicap event and club AGM. Pearce took the handicap event (again) and all who attended the AGM enjoyed the opportunity to socialise.
Personal Bests 5m: Pearce Phillips (30:14), David Kindred (35:28) 10k: James Barnes (47:18) 12k: Pearce Phillips (45:50), Matt Leatham (51:10), David Kindred (55:44), Colin Hewes (57:54), Matt Dunn (57:54), Mark Willcocks (1:04:33), Mike Hudson (1:11:36) Half: Matt Dunn (1:44:50) Debuts 12k: Jon Hullis (48:46), Claire Hesketh (1:00:11), Dave Mullaney (1:02:04) Achievements Pearce, Jon, Pete: Winning the team prize at NTRIX for the second consecutive year

Not the Roman IX 12k Handicap & UKnetrunner AGM
A total of 18 UKnetrunners completed the Not the Roman IX 12k. They were joined in support by a crew of injured club members who were happy to be part of this event even thought they were unable to run. There were many good perforances and PBs and once again we walked with a team prize in the men's event. Pearce Phillips, Jon Hullis and Pete Stockdale picked up 3rd placed team - the second consecutive year that UKNR has won this prize.
The event also hosts the annual 12k handicap which was a very close affair this year. In third place, with a net time of 39:45 was Wendi Witton In second place, with a new time of 38:49 was Matt Leatham But the winner, for the second consecutive year, was Pearce Phillips with a net time of 38:20 Well done to Pearce who also finished 12th overall in the race (as well as picking up the team prize). Last year's race winner, Pricey, was one of the injured crew but kept himself occupied by taking some snaps of the other club members. He received many compliments from the runners for his position at the top of a hill - a vantage point thoroughly recommended to anyone else looking to take some race day photos! You can view the photos by clicking the link below: Flickr! It was then off to the pub for the AGM and a celebratory drink or diet coke. A brief overview of the AGM is as follows: Elected Committee Members Chair/PR - Brigitte Groves General/Membership Secretary and Treasurer - Alan Lacey Website Administrators - Matt Leatham and Stephen Price Grand Prix/Handicap Co-ordinator - Stephen Price Club Captain - Matt Dunn You'll notice from the above that Alan Lacey has stepped down from his role as chairman of the club. Alan is the co-founder, with Jeff Steed, of Uknetrunner. They should both be proud of the club they formed - they established UKNR as a strong running club providing valuable support for members (and non-members on the club forum) which has resulted in a never ending supply of PBs. Perhaps even more valuable are the friendships that many club members have found through the club and for that alone we all offer a massive thanks to both Alan & Jeff. Alan, will of course still play a very active role within the Committee as he controls the business side, finances, membership and the more 'technical' bits! Taking over the reigns as chair from Alan is Brigitte Groves who is very pleased to have been voted in as Chair, and intends to continue to do her best for the club and its members. Brigitte is one of the founder members of the club and has already been very involved in the running of the club. We're sure she'll do a fantastic job. Runner of the year This deservedly went to Mark Willcocks, for the extraordinary lengths and sleep depravation he goes through to meet with fellow club members at races. A couple of club members were asked to best describe Mark, their replies were tenacious and car-key-tastic (with reference to an "incident" at the Round Norfolk Relay). Our new club chair added "kind, supportive, funny and beneath the bravado lies a heart of gold and a loyal friend". Well done Mark and long may you continue to entertain us with your forum posts! Achievement of the Year Award Ian Thomas was selected by the Committee as the winner of this award, recognising the great commitment and determination with which IAn approaches his running. He has been totally focused on achieving his goals and although not always succeeding he should be proud of the many PBs he has achieved. He stormed his way through the field at the Round Norfolk Relay and at Abingdon Marathon secured himself a Good for Age place for the 2011 London Marathon. Currently injured and resting, but well done Ian and we look forward to your comeback. Handicap Events NTRIX 2010 - Pearce Phillips Edinburgh Marathon - Claire Hesketh Great Eastern Half Marathon - Colin Hewes Grand Prix Group One winner - Matt Dunn Group Two winner - Ian Thomas (Despite the points being equal, Neil Ramage hadn't completed the minimum number of distances [3].) The minutes from the 2010 Uknetrunner AGM will be circulated, but pressures of work mean this might not be immediate.
UKnetrunner - Not The Roman IX 12k Handicap - Stratford Upon Avon 17th January 2010
Apologies for the last minute posting of the handicap times.
UKnetrunner will once again be taking over Stratford - although injuries and lack of training due to severe bad weather has caused some members (including myself) to be unable to take part, and others to be participating rather than racing. Good luck for speedy recoveries to all. NTRIX Handicap Times (Based on best of 12k / 10k performance in past 12 months) Stephen Price - Scratch (nil handicap) Pete Stockdale - 6min10 Jon Hullis - 7min28 Pearce Phillips - 7min30 David Robertson - 10min28 Matt Leatham - 12min21 David Kindred - 13min52 Matt Dunn - 14min18 Mike Jarman - 14min31 Colin Hewes - 15min33 Steve Gunn - 17min09 Deane Ward - 17min29 Claire Hesketh - 19min35 Mark Willcocks - 21min29 David Mullaney - 22min12 Paul Vincent - 26min41 Mike Hudson - 28min54 Zoe Stockdale - 31min46 Wendi Witton - 34min09 As usual the way it works will be your finishing time minus your handicap. The person with the lowest time when this calculation has been applied will be deemed the winner - simples! Will Mike Jarman defend his title? We will soon see..... a trophy will be presented to the winner at the AGM in the afternoon (2.30 onwards at the Granville in Barford) Please note: If your name is not on the list it is because:- - You didn't confirm that you wanted to be entered into the handicap - in response to my mail - You have no times logged in your member details on the website. I Look forward to seeing you all at the 2010 NTRIX - good luck to all! Alan Lacey Secretary - UKnetrunner
