Announcements
The annual London Heathside club handicap will take place in Highgate Woods on the evening of Tuesday July 14th.
Steve Woolf is the race organiser, but he is on holiday at the moment so has asked me to post this for him. I will try to be as accurate as possible about the details, but if I get anything wrong then I'm sure he will correct it on his return.
The event is 5k in distance, which is basically 2.5 laps of the Woods and starts at approx 7.30. It is a 'yacht' handicap which means that the slowest runner starts first and the fastest last, with the aim being that everyone should finish at exactly the same time. Fortunately the handicapping committee have never actually achieved that aim however, or it would be impossible for the finish judges to decide who won!
All club members are eligible to compete (non-members can run but can't win prizes) and there are 4 prizes each for men and women as follows: handicap winner, fastest time, fastest debut and fastest veteran. After the event I hope as many as possible of you will adjourn to The Woodman pub, where the prizes will be handed out.
Would anyone who would like to enter please let Steve know by e-mailing him at s.woolf@londonheathside.org.uk . Handicaps will be based, where possible, on your times at club road race champs races and/or club track races so far this year. If you haven't done any races this year therefore it would be helpful if you could provide a (truthful!!) likely time for either 5k or 10k along with your entry. Please enter as soon as possible as, although entries will be possible on the day, it is a pain for us organisers so we may well respond by giving you an impossibly tough handicap!
I think that is everything, though please feel free to ask me or Steve if I have left out anything obvious.

Hi All,
As I'm sure you are all aware, it is our club's Midsummer 10k race this Sunday.
We still need more volunteers.
The call has already gone out for marshals, from which there has been a positive response.
But we still people to help out with some other key roles on the day. Namely:
- getting there early to help peg and tape out the finish tunnel
- on the entries desk taking entries, money etc
- inputting entrants data into the laptop
- inputting results as they come in
- helping to man the main water station on the roundabout
- water station at the finish
- help with watermelon chopping
- giving out of mugs after the race
- as well as marshals out the course, extra ones needed to corral the runners to the start and along the finishing tunnel
Best to let me know directly in advance on 07974 345566 (mob.) or 020 7278 9503 (work) or 020 7690 8300 (evening) or david.newman@tinyworld.co.uk
Many thanks, see you all there.

Hi
Have just received a couple of plea’s for help. The most urgent is this Thursday 18 June- the London Youth Games Disability Athletics. 10-4pm at Mile End. They are looking for people to help officiate the competition. I have been asked to do timekeeping which indicates how desperate they are! Please could you see if you have anyone within your clubs or from your contacts that may be able to help out even for part of the day. They will be able to cover expenses.
The second request is the LYG mini-games Sportshall Athletics on Thursday 2 July. This is at Crystal Palace from 9.30-3pm (lunch provided). Again, please can you see if anyone within your clubs or general contacts might be able to help out.
Please can you let me know if you can come up with anyone.

Reports
Both the men’s and women’s track and field teams had their latest matches at the weekend, but before moving on to them I must first congratulate Mehretab for his Gold medal winning performance in the Southern Champs the previous weekend in a club U20 record time. I suspect he can and will run even faster when he is in a race where he is pushed to do so. There was also a good turnout at the latest Last Friday of the Month 5k with all our runners finishing in under 20 minutes and in the top 50. Ed and Steve must have had a particularly close race towards the front while it was the first of 3 races for Graham over the course of less than 48 hours.
The journeys involved for the men’s and women’s matches could not have been any more different as the women were at home while us men had to travel down on Friday evening for a match in the furthest outpost of the Southern League at Par, near St Austell, in Cornwall. Fortunately the idea of an overnight stay didn’t put off the younger members of the team so we had a decent turnout of 12 athletes and, thanks to a quicker than expected recovery from injury by John, we were able to cover all the events with even the odd non-scorer thrown in. We also managed to avoid the careless dropped points that had cost us in previous matches, particularly the last one, and we were a safe bet for 2nd behind the hosts throughout the match, even threatening to pip them at some points. We were comfortably the top team on the track, with only the strength of Hillingdon in the distance events and of Newquay in the Hurdles, plus the sudden disappearance of half the team just before the 4x400, stopping us from managing a near clan sweep, while we were a close 2nd behind Newquay in the Jumps too. It was in the Throws that the match was decided however as not only did Newquay score 38 points out of 40 there, but Chichester also had a couple of good throwers thus knocking us down as extra place, something they signally failed to do in most of Newquay’s weak events on the track. With so many individual wins I couldn’t pick out specific great performances, but Nathan and Ashley did most events and scored most points so particularly well done to them. This result has moved us up 5 places in the league to well out of the relegation zone, but it was a very easy match and the 2 to come are less so, so we aren’t safe yet. The next match is at Guildford on July 11th and we could really do with at least 1 more middle/long distance runner that day and, possibly even more importantly, 1 or 2 people to do some officiating so John and I can concentrate on competing and managing, so if anyone is free that day and happy to volunteer to help out then please let me know.
Meanwhile the women had a shared home match with Highgate at Parliament Hill. Although the number competing was slightly better than for previous matches it was somewhat disappointing given that there was no travelling involved, with the absence of several in their late teens who train regularly at the track the most unfortunate. There was plenty of good news however, as the team did finish off the bottom on the day and are now close to overtaking Southend in the overall league table too. Unsurprisingly the 3000 was our strongest event with Anna having a good win and Fiona backing her up excellently, while Sue, on her debut for the team, scored most points despite rarely if ever having competed in any of the events she did before! Rebecca managed a PB in the 800 while Natalie was unfortunate in having to drop out of the 400 (and therefore not to even start the 200) due to a dodgy hamstring. This was always going to be a tough year as we tried to get the women’s team going again and things do, slowly, seem to be going in the right direction. Results of all the above as follows:

Borehamwood Half Marathon, Borehamwood, 28/6/09:
?th Graham Bell 98m 03s
Conditions were pretty much perfect for the Midsummer 10k on Sunday morning, with it being dry and mild enough for spectators and helpers without it being too hot for the runners. Over 40 Heathsiders took part in a field of almost 250 finishers in all, while at least 20 others were helping with taking entries, marshalling, results and all the other jobs that need to be done when organizing such an event. The field was quite strong, especially for the men, and it was a while before George even managed to get himself into the top 10. He kept working through however and finally ended up in 6th but, more importantly, won his sprint finish for the 1st V40 prize against Stephen Whiting from Highgate. Ken was next Heathsider home, continuing his recent good form, while Gavin and Mark also had good runs to make the top 20. Just behind them, Robin took the first V50 prize by a margin of over 2 minutes, while Norbert was only 11 seconds away from being 1st V60.
Amongst the women, Helen had a very strong start and was in 2nd place for the first half of the race before fading slightly to end up in a still very praiseworthy 3rd. Just behind, Louise was 4th overall and 1st V45, a category in which Caroline and Rosaire ensured we had the top 3 finishers. Sarah gave us 4 runners in the overall top 10, but sadly it is only 3 to score for the team prize so Highgate pipped us for that, to go with their rather more comfortable win in the men’s event. Well done to all who ran and thanks to everyone who helped the event to run (as far as I know) smoothly on the day. Thanks also to Dieter for all the photos which are now up on the website, along with those he took at the club champs last Tuesday.
There were certainly other Heathsiders competing over the weekend but the results aren’t available yet. I am told for example that Mehretab won the 5000 Metres in the South of England Under 20 Champs at Watford, but I have no confirmation of this and don’t know what time he ran. Also the Young Athletes team had their 3rd match of the season at Mile End on Sunday but I have heard nothing about how that went yet. That gives me time and space to mention the men’s and women’s matches this coming Saturday. The men are down in Cornwall and, due to John’s injury, we may well be short of at least 1 middle/long distance runner. As the match looks potentially very weak it is absolutely essential that we at least take part in every event, regardless of the standard of the people competing. Therefore if anyone is up for a free overnight trip to the seaside, leaving Paddington at 6PM on Friday and getting back late on Saturday, and is willing and able to complete a 3000M Steeplechase however long it may take them, please let me or John know asap. The women on the other hand have a home fixture at Parliament Hill, so anyone who would like to compete should contact Kabir on 07515280173. There will also be a need for officials so if anyone else is free and can get along for part or all of the afternoon then you will be very welcome. Now here are the results:

Amongst the women, Helen had a very strong start and was in 2nd place for the first half of the race before fading slightly to end up in a still very praiseworthy 3rd. Just behind, Louise was 4th overall and 1st V45, a category in which Caroline and Rosaire ensured we had the top 3 finishers. Sarah gave us 4 runners in the overall top 10, but sadly it is only 3 to score for the team prize so Highgate pipped us for that, to go with their rather more comfortable win in the men’s event. Well done to all who ran and thanks to everyone who helped the event to run (as far as I know) smoothly on the day. Thanks also to Dieter for all the photos which are now up on the website, along with those he took at the club champs last Tuesday.
There were certainly other Heathsiders competing over the weekend but the results aren’t available yet. I am told for example that Mehretab won the 5000 Metres in the South of England Under 20 Champs at Watford, but I have no confirmation of this and don’t know what time he ran. Also the Young Athletes team had their 3rd match of the season at Mile End on Sunday but I have heard nothing about how that went yet. That gives me time and space to mention the men’s and women’s matches this coming Saturday. The men are down in Cornwall and, due to John’s injury, we may well be short of at least 1 middle/long distance runner. As the match looks potentially very weak it is absolutely essential that we at least take part in every event, regardless of the standard of the people competing. Therefore if anyone is up for a free overnight trip to the seaside, leaving Paddington at 6PM on Friday and getting back late on Saturday, and is willing and able to complete a 3000M Steeplechase however long it may take them, please let me or John know asap. The women on the other hand have a home fixture at Parliament Hill, so anyone who would like to compete should contact Kabir on 07515280173. There will also be a need for officials so if anyone else is free and can get along for part or all of the afternoon then you will be very welcome. Now here are the results:
