Waterford Road Runners

Road Runners Winter League Week 9, Thursday January 25th, sponsored by  and

Only 3 weeks left

Hard to believe that 9 weeks of running have taken place and only 3 remain. Don’t forget that our last night is February 15^th, with the prizegiving and celebrations taking place after in the Mount Sion GAA centre. With 270 or so still coming along to run each week, it looks like it’s going to be some hooley!

 Ladies lead

6 of the first 10 runners home last week were ladies, showing that they’re getting in the training on other nights. Well done to first home and newcomer, Emma Farrell, who just managed to stay ahead of Lisa Walsh who transferred to the 2.2 from the 5.2 for the night. Next home was Paula Radcliffe wanna be, Joanne Jackman, pregnancy not having dulled her competitive nature thus far! In the men’s 2.2 section, another newbie, John Kelly had a great run to finish half a minute ahead of Michael McCarthy. In third place and improving week after week was Patrice Power.

 Men follow

The opposite then in the 5.2 mile run with 8 of the first 10 home being of the male persuasion. First back was Michael English, new to the league, followed in by Paul Griffin who stepped up to the 5.2 for the night. In only his third night at the league, James Troy knocked almost 5 minutes off his prior best. If he keeps going like this, Waterford AC should sign him up! In the ladies race, it was a battle to the finish for gold with Elaine Barry just pipping Joan Halley at the clock. Coach Cawley will have had some harsh words with his protégé no doubt, but with an improvement of 4 minutes since starting the series, he can’t really have much to complain about. Next home, again improving week by week, was Suzanne Rath. Keep up the great work for just 3 more weeks guys and gals!

 Moving on up

Great to see a few trying out the 5.2 mile distance these weeks instead of the 2.2. Don’t forget to let someone know at registration though. Your handicap would be very different over 5.2 and they will figure out what it should be for you. Otherwise it gets somewhat confusing when compiling results. Thanks!

 Nifty feet

Following on from his great run in the recent Mount Sion 5 miler, James Sullivan knocked almost a full minute off his previous best to get round in 27.34. This works out at just under 5.20m per mile. The rest of us would be thrilled to be able to do just one mile at this pace! Looks like running in the Industrial Estate is still in full swing as Sunlifers continue to improve after a lot of them only took up the sport last summer. Paul Devlin had a terrific run and broke the 7m mile barrier easily. Likewise Noreen Sexton, a real competitor, edges ever closer to the 8m mile mark. Finishing right behind James Sull might have given her the extra push near the line. Waneta Spain did manage to break 8m miles and must surely be on for a sub 40 before the next 3 weeks are out. Steve Lacey then broke 50mins for the first time. If he got out of work earlier he might get more training done!

 Waterford AC Spring Series

Don’t forget that you can preregister for Waterford AC’s Spring Series again this year at any of the remaining nights of the league. This series was very popular last year and is set to be even bigger this year, with sponsorship from Alfie Hales Inter Sport and Mizuno on board. Starting March 18^th and for 2 more Sundays, March 25^th and April 1^st (no foolin’). Entry is €8 per race or €20 for the series. Watch out for the registration desk upstairs Thursday night.
