Kathy - 76:25 - 367th (that's not right...) Two other important races took place that evening - the Waterfront 100m Sprint Challenge (1st - Lyndon, 2nd - Tony, DNF - Dalks) and the High Stakes Fastest Pint (1st - Lyndon (again), 2nd (last DNF?) Dalks). All in all, a cracking trip. with the majority of the troupe electing to stay in Caen for a few extra days of sun, slush puppies and soirées in 'Le Chic' (smallest nightclub in the world) - or so the b@$tards had me believe!!! Back Row: Tony, Whizzo, Paul Williams, Ian, Lyndon, Mark Front Row: Kath, Pat, Critter, Marg (mmm...), Amanda, Ken The after-race presentation: Wrekin's first man and lady - Mark and Amanda Dalkins The evening started off in a very refined manner... ...until Tony and Whizzo tried to take advantage of a pi$$ed Dalks... ... whilst The General tried to find some action down at the docks doing favours for sailors.   Crown Classic 10K 16th July 2004 The first 4 men: Mark Dalkins, Chris Bagshaw, Nick Andrews, Robin Sedman-Smith 1st and 2nd Male teams: Telford AC and Amazing Feet Male and Female Veterans. 100th place. Wheaton Aston 5.9 mile 27.12.04 Snow and frost nearly caused the cancellation of the Wheaton Aston 10k, but the organisers decided to let the event go ahead but with the loop at the start cut out of the race. This meant that those people who didn't listen to the instructions at the start, jumped for joy at the finish thinking they had p.b.'s, when in fact the distance was reduced to 5.9 miles. The weather obviously didn’t put off Dalks who streaked round in less than 30mins for the overall winner’s position. 1st 0:29:07 Mark Dalkins Senior Men 72nd 0:37:41 Marc Christian Male Vet o/40 95th 0:39:00 Paul Williams Male Vet o/50 340th 0:50:41 Ian Budd Senior Men 447th 01:04:12 Kathy Ling Lady Vet o/60 Telford 10k 19.12.04 The cold frosty December day didn’t put off the record 415 finishers in the Telford 10K. The two lap course around Telford Town Park attracted a field from far and wide- got to be worth a smile from race organiser Dave Mansbridge. Five Road Runners did the business. 105th 39.54 Tony Nicholls 200th 45.29 Jonathan Wysome 315th 52.12 Paul Sayer 346th 55.00 Pat Adams L45 373rd 58.18 Sarah Hodgson L35 Sneyd Christmas Pudding Run 10 mile Two Road Runners took the annual opportunity for a scenic 10 mile stroll around the delights of Bloxwich in the West Midlands. Judging by the times there were not too many distractions on the way… good performances by Pat and Paul. 50th 01:02:54 Paul Williams M50 493rd 01:33:57 Pat Adams F45 Wolverhampton Turkey Trot 5mile 5.12.04 Personal bests all round as three Wrekin Roadrunners jogged the streets of Wolverhampton to earn mysterious turkey products. Once upon a time they gave real Turkeys in this race, but now it’s the odd Turkey running.. with “products” to follow. Suspicions of a short course last year (and wayward mile markers this year) were turned aside in favour of minor pre-Christmas celebrations. We like this race! 140th 38:58 Ian Budd M 177th 42:40 Sarah Hodgson F35+ 227th 50:59 Kathy Ling F45+ Mark Dalkins - Wheaton Aston Ian Budd - Wheaton Aston Sarah Hodgson - Turkey Trot Ian Budd - Turkey Trot Click image to enlarge
