Awards were made by chairman Marco Keir to the most improved male and female runners, for age related performances in the Kent Fitness League, and for members completing a minimum of 6 races overall during the season.

The womens team finished league runners up in the Kent Fitness League with 10 of our ladies scoring at different times. Also in the KFL four of our runners gained age related awards for their season long efforts:

Female V50 Champion                   Barbara Wenman

Male V55 Champion                       Steve Clark

Male V40 Champion                       Tony McParland

Male 3RD place overall                     Mark Ford

For their efforts across the whole season the most improved club female runner was Jo Gambrill and amongst the men Phil Wyard. The overall xc champion female was deservedly made to Sarah Maguire and the overall xc champion male award was made to Mark Ford.

If you haven’t yet tried the ‘blood, sweat and tears’ of cross country then next season is definitely the time to start. The season kicks off in October (usually with our home fixture at Blean) and runs right through til March. With the added challenge of a range of varying courses a full season is excellent preparation for competing in spring road races.

Martin Skeet and Rob Sargeant ran most of the way together and both finished very comfortably within three hours, Martin just going away from Rob in the last 10K. It was, surprisingly, the first time Martin had broken three hours in the event. Jacob Howe had a quite brilliant debut, completing the course at exactly 7 minute mile pace. Dianne August had an excellent run too in setting a new PB and overcoming both the disappointment of last year when she was unable to run and also injury p[googleMap directions_to="false"][/googleMap]roblems this year. Dianne, however, was unlucky since in some years her time would win the club’s Female Marathon prize, but like Jenny Michaelson (3:48:34 in New York last November) and Kate Prescott (3:28:30 in Paris) she has to give way to our Female Champion, Carol Reid, who ran a superb net time of 3:24:45. Of the other runners, Mick Holmans was suffering from a bug and so his time did not reflect his level of fitness or the amount of hard training he had put in. The master of consistency, Joe Epsom, managed yet another time at around the 3:50 mark and Pete Greenwood continued his membership of the exclusive “Ever Presents” club of those that have now done all 21 London Marathons.

There was something else, of course, that’s missing from the above report: Roy Palmer’s extraordinary run that meant he came in the top 200 of the race (and let’s not forget that there were over 30,000 finishers), and set a new club record, beating Greg Callaghan’s previous mark by half a minute. Roy’s time equated to averaging 6:10 every mile and was tribute to his efforts in preparing for the event.

In the table below, all the times given are “gross” ones (i.e. from when the gun went) since the London Marathon website (www.london-marathon.co.uk) does not record the time taken to cross the start line, unlike Paris (www.parismarathon.com) or New York (http://www.nyrrc.org/nyrrc/marathon/home.html), the latter also giving splits in “real-time” so that you could follow the progress of runners.

Canterbury Harriers’ men’s team (Laurence Shaw, Graham Brown, Joe Hicks, Steve Clark and Alastair Telford) just missed out on following up their 2000 Saxon Shore Relay success losing out to the Pfizer Discovery section team by less than a minute over almost 47 miles and 5 hours 20 minutes of running.

Whilst the men just lost out, the “Canterbury Harriets”, comprising Carol Reid, Sue Reilly, Dianne August, Kate Prescott and Mary Drewett, easily won the women’s race and would probably have done well in the open competition.

The table below shows the legs and the times taken for the members of the men’s team. All the figures (apart, perhaps, from the team’s overall time of 5:19:50) should be taken with a pinch of salt!
