Well, 3rd year for the Holkham 10k, 3rd year when it’s been very very hot!  Will we ever learn?

Made slightly worse by the fact the run doesn’t start until 12pm!

But even so, we sign up each year to do it!

Great running by everyone today, and a first in class for Evette!  Well done!

A brilliant RntS turnout on a hot evening for the Oyster Catcher 5k race around the perimeter of the airfield in aid of The Nation Autistic Society.  Thank you Lucy H for helping to organise it.

It looked like a great event.

It definitely was scorchio for this year’s Beat the Tide which ran from Hunstanton to Heacham to Hunstanton to Heacham and then to Hunstanton again (10k in total) along the beach with the idea of being back to the finish before (as the title suggests) the tide comes in!

It was a tough event with hard rippled sand and deep muddy sections, and was certainly different!  Well done Ant for, as far as we couple see, coming home as 3rd Male.

Well done to Nur who completed her longest ever event this weekend – the Norfolk 100k!

Fantastic work Nur, great running!

Well done to Evette who completed her first Triathlon event yesterday.

A great result (even if she does say she’s lacking bike handling skills).

Official Time:
57:58

Part two in the trilogy of Jaguars 10k races.  This year the medals all join up to make an RAF roundel and each medal has one of the aircraft that were based at RAF Coltishall.  The second medal having the English Electric Lightning (the first – The Mad March Hare – having the Gloster Javelin).

Today, although it was overcast, it was rather warm for the two lap race (thank goodness the sun didn’t come out until it was finished!).

Official Results:
Lucy Mc – 53:30 PB
Adam S – 53:31 PB
Mark – 53:34 PB

Wow!

I’m writing this whilst watching the live freed of the Comrades Marathon 2018.  The 12hr cut off gun has just been fired and that’s it!  Finished!  People are collapsing just before the line, some after running more than 90km, but not quite making it.

I’m very pleased to say that a certain David Sharp wasn’t one of them!

What a fantastic run!  90.184km in 11hrs 32mins.

I know that I wasn’t alone in tracking you today David.  You had an awful lot of support back in North Norfolk and we’re all very proud of you.

Well done.

We look forward to seeing you when you get back.

A rather warm run in Swaffham today.

Well done to numbers 12, 13 and 14!

There were a few organisational issues it would appear, but a number of PBs shows it was a quick course.

Official Times:
Cat – 48:53.6 – PB – Class Winner
Ceri – 1:02:43.9 – Class Winner
Chris – 1:09:05.7 – PB – 2nd in Class
