Club Report – Sunday 15th July 2018
Strange thing happened today, weird watery stuff started falling from the sky. I’ll have to get one of the young ‘uns to Google it for me.
Let’s start by catching up on a result that came in too late for last week’s report.
3 Harriers took on the Inis Bo Finne 5k in Donegal last Sunday:
Damien Cole 20:15, Frances Kane 30:54, Patricia Kane 35:10 (and an age category win).
Well done Patricia!
Mid-week racing this week was led off by our juniors as Adam and Peter McCann took on the junior race at the Killough 10k. Adam was the winner with Peter 4th. Great results gents. Mark Smith is panicking already.
Friday night saw the Harriers head for the coast for the 7th Annual Sea to Sky Born 2 Run event in Newcastle.
Heading skyward in the 10k were:
Mark Smith 37:30 (and 5th place overall), Lee O’Boyle 39:55PB (seriously Lee, on this course???), Danny Donaldson 40:13, Eamonn Donaghy 50:02, Sarah McCafferty 51:14, Owen “Jamie Dornan beard” Fulton 53:40, Pamela McCafferty 53:58, Hilary Faith 59:07, Tiffany Donaldson 1:05:46, Angela Stevens 1:08:12, Hannah Hope 1:08:13

Saturday saw our longest effort of the week as our new ROTM took on her first ultra challenge.
Sarah Ross completed the Chiltern Challenge Ultra 50k in 6:26:53 and was 14th women home out of a female field of 110. Well done Sarah, now put those feet up for a while!

The vest in the west was out racing again this week as Aidy Hughes competed in the JD Dance 10k in Coalisland, finishing in an (unofficial so far) 50:57PB.
As I write, France are about to win the World Cup. Thierry Henry doesn’t play for them any more so I suppose I don’t mind. Happy too as I have no idea what Croatian pop song I would let you have.
So here’s a French classic instead.
Until next week, behave.
