Road Running & Road Relays Results
for 2006
10 December
2006 - Swanley 4.2 miles Christmas Capper
Hi guys, just to let you know that, Abbie Jacobs (the
Mrs!), Amy Smith, Kate Pratten, Clare Logwig, Rhiannon Lloyd and Ramon Siaz all
took part in the race on Sunday the 10/12/06.
The turkey is now in its rightful place, in my freezer! I
won the race for the second year in a row in 22.25, 1st mile 4.48, 2 miles in
10.05, 3 miles in 15.30 and 4 miles in 20.25.
The field was over 500 and next home for B&BHAC was Amy
Smith in 14th, Kate Pratten in 79th, Clare Lodwig in 81st, Rhiannon Lloyd in
112th, Ramon Saiz in 214th and Abbie Jacobs in 287th (not bad for a sprinter and
taking nearly 2 mins off her only previous attempt in 2003, shows that training
with Gordon Cooper's training group is paying off).

RACE DAY ARRIVES
- a personal
account by Mike Salmon -
 Eyes half open I peer out from under the duvet
anticipating the alarm will ring on my mobile phone, set to wake me at
04.35 hours, the extra 5 minutes of sleep seemed important to me when I
set it the night before.
After crawling out from bed and quickly throwing
on my four layers laid out in the bathroom, I made sure all the
important items were packed in my backpack including Vaseline (vital for
long runs) energy drinks, hat and gloves.
We all (Children with Leukaemia charity runners)
met at the Millennium Broadway Hotel on 44th Street and congregated in
the Hudson Theatre next door before being led in convoy to 42nd Street
to board the coaches taking us to Staten Island.
We were channelled into the “Disney like” queues
in readiness to board the coaches taking us to Staten Island. The queues
were routed along 42nd Street, eventually spilling out onto 5th Avenue
where the coaches were lined up bumper to bumper ready to take us to
Staten Island.
For
many years due to the unique nature of the start of the course, the ING
New York City Marathon has had to restrict the number of entries. This
year a record number applied for entry – more than 90,000 – from this
number, marathon officials allowed approximately 37,000 entries into the
field.
 The catch phrase for the ING NYC Marathon this
year was “one race, 37,000 stories”. Let me try to give you an insight
into part of the overall experience. We arrived at Staten Island at
about 06.05am and therefore were faced with a four hour wait until the
start of the race. The early start is necessary to allow the authorities
to close all roads and bridges to traffic along the route by 07.00
hours. Upon arrival on Staten Island we stepped from the coach into the
cool but bright sunny morning.
The three starting groups (red, blue, green) were
spread across two fields and two massive car parks at Fort Wadsworth. I
managed to find a table to rest my limbs and avoid the damp grass.
During the four hour wait much liquid was taken on board by all runners
and subsequently the pre-race port-a-loos were well used by all 31,000
runners.
By the time we were called forward into the
starting groups, I looked back to see an almost complete covering of
discarded clothing of various types over the two fields and massive car
parks.
The gun went and we edged forward to the sound of
“New York, New York”. This is the best tour of New York City you could
possibly get. Running through the five boroughs, Staten Island: pre race
butterflies, Brooklyn: climbing up Pulaski Bridge and reaching the half
way mark, Queens: the pain of running up and over Queensboro Bridge;
reaching Manhattan for the first time and running up 1st Avenue from
59th Street to 144th Street and then on to the Bronx: hitting the wall
at 20 miles, oxygen starved and burning fat, leaving the Bronx onto
Manhattan, muscles are screaming and stomach wanting to wrench, the last
4.2 miles and Central Park is in sight.
The crowds are amazing and onto the roar of the
crowd down 5th Avenue onto 59th Street and along south edge of Central
Park to the finish line on the west side near 7th Avenue.
My overall finishing place was 6,558 out of 31,000
finishers. For my age group I was in 177th place. All in all a fantastic
experience despite the pain of hitting the wall at 20 miles. The
organisers recorded my 5km split times as 22 min 0-5km, 23 mins 5-10 km,
24 mins 10-15 km, 24 mins 15-20km, 26 mins 20-25km, 26 mins 25-30km.
After hitting the wall my last 10km was much slower at 63 minutes.
Overall finishing time 3 hours, 41 mins.
Crossing the finishing line, I staggered slightly
only to be propped up by the arms of a friendly lady medic who walked me
through the final processes of getting the medal and photograph, finally
having my chip removed from my running shoe.
A long walk to baggage pick-up between 72nd and
85th Streets and my UPS lorry was number 58 out of 72. This was my only
complaint after what had been a memorable day never to be forgotten.
Finding a place on the footpath to sit on my foil
blanket and get into a change of clothes, every movement sending a
message to the brain from the muscles – avoid spasm and cramps!
As I get into my Blackheath & Bromley Harriers AC
tracksuit, I feel snug again and pulling my medal over my head, I set
off to find my family and friends. Along the way I am constantly greeted
by the crowds saying “Congratulations” and “Great Job”
The best tour of New York City you can possibly
get! What a great day !! |

The ERRA
National Relays at Sutton Park, Birmingham on Sunday 22 October 2006
Girls and boys event report.
Despite the highest position for the club the U15 girls
‘A’ team were disappointed. Blame was put on the team manager for ensuring that
they were asleep by midnight. After an entertaining coach trip the 12 boys and 9
girls settled well in thier 49 seated coach with grumpy from the seven dwarfs as
the driver. Grumpy did well making it to Birmingham but had great difficulty
finding anywhere that was not on the motorway. After a long dinner for the
adults the majority youngsters managed to find themselves in the swimming pool
for a quick dip.
The evening was spent in and out of each others rooms
until a nasty smelly chemical incident occurred outside one of the girl’s
bedrooms. The smell which brought me back to bygone years greeted me when I got
out of the lift on the 5th floor. The B&B youngsters sought safety all in one
bedroom which reminded me of a parable from the bible. After little detective
work I tracked down the stink bomber of old Birmingham town and confiscated his
large arsenal of devices. Some of the girls fearing further attacks in the night
laid wet towels at the bottom of the door as per the chemical attack safety
manual. I was asked how detection was made by Angels ‘Watson’ Cook. Simple my
dear Watson I replied he was the only one not in the room and the booty was
sticking out of his bag.
All on race day were thankful for one of the clubs unsung
heroes John ‘The tent’ Robinson. He got so carried away with his tent pegs he
had to be retrieved from two tents away hammering in a line of pegs on every
tent that got in his way. Cameron Ward who ran the last leg of the day in
torrential rain returned to the tent which by that time had no sides or roof.
The journey back was made with much singing and merry making by the youngster to
the obvious delight of grumpy. The B&B youngsters managed to thank all the
adults who helped by singing thier praises, including head of Active Athletics,
who picked up the title of Pat ‘The Cameraman’ Calnan. My thanks to all
concerned and for the youngsters for a large outbreak of team spirit.

8 April 2006
- National 12 Stage Road Relay
Well done to all those that competed on Saturday at the
National 12 Stage Road Relays in Birmingham. We had a very young team (and that
includes you Dave!!) which performed well at their first championship.
We had many of our top guys out of action due to different
reasons, but with them all back we will get back in the medals in the near
future.

think it has been a good one with some promising guys coming through the ranks.
Have a great summer and I will see you all soon.
