Summer Training 2009
For those hardy souls who have braved the wind and rain down at Bradford & Bingley during the Winter months, you will be delighted to hear that we will continue to have speed sessions over the summer. As usual we will meet at Bradford & Bingley at 7pm. Rather than slugging round the field every week we do plan to mix things up with sessions on road, hills, woods in addition to the field. The sessions are open to everyone and will routinely consist of a 10-15 minute warm up, efforts of between 1 and 5 minutes in length followed by a 10-15 minute warm down, they usually last an hour. I would say that if you bring a pair of trail shoes and road shoes you should be ok. However, I will try and update the Forum thread before each Tuesday session to let everyone know what we are doing so keep an idea on the Tuesday training thread. So if you haven't used the forum before get on there it's a good source of info. Debbie Devine is also planning to continue her sessions so there should be plenty of choice.
See you on Tuesdays.

Junior Fell Championship 2009
Sun bathing, ice cream cones and paddling in the river were the post race diversions for the small group of Harriers at the BOFRA Kettlewell race. The river was low but caused mayhem at the start and finish of some of the junior races. Ellie Child followed up her Kildwick debut with a strong run in the U12s and James Hall wiped out twice in the water but still managed a decent position. Good luck to Nicole who, running for her new fell club, was first girl. For spectacular photos from David Brett and full results check the BOFRA web site.
The next Bingley races are Widdop (a senior championship race) and Oldfield (a Bingley promotion) so let’s have a good turn-out.

Track & Field
We are looking for additional members, male and female, to join our squad.
Last year we were promoted to Div 2 with a relatively small squad, this season we would like to consolidate our position and have ambitions to eventually proceed to a higher division. To help us to achieve this we are looking to recruit new members and in particular 800, 1500, s/chase and 5/3k athletes. The league has varying standards and therefore should be attractive to athletes at any level. We can offer a friendly welcome to anyone who would care to come and join our squad.
If you would like to join us, or are at least curious to find out more information, please give one of us a ring.

Gordon Kaye
James Senior at the
Anniversary Waltz

A total of 13 harriers started the race and the weather was foul with driving wind and rain, which made conditions underfoot treacherous in places, most places in fact. 3 big ascents and descents packed 2600 foot of climbing into just short of 6 miles to make this a worthy English championship race. Ian Holmes was the first harrier home and first vet 40, Ruth Whitehead first lady and Mike Smith first vet 50. What were winning teams on paper in both men’s and women’s races unfortunately did not materialise in practise leaving Dave Stephenson and Mike Smith as the 4th and 5th counters, enough said! Mention must go to Fred Gibbs who was the first vet 70 beating many runners much younger than him and who is on course to be English champion. Well done to everyone who ran on such a foul day. The next race is Saturday 20th June at Tebay in Cumbria (a Yorkshire ebay?) where hopefully we can muster a better turnout, results are on Mercia fell runners website.
