Unfortunately of the 16 members who have done both races so far only 3 (not counting Graham) have shown an improvement! The leaders are:
1. Jude Breen +1:43 (so Grahams pacing is having some
effect) 2. Dave Armstrong +0:47 3. Diane Craven +0:04
The recent heavy racing schedule seems to be catching up with the Murphys with Ruth
slowing by 3:39 and Vince by 3:20
Race results
Meanwood Valley Trail race
125 Andrew Armstrong 60:44, 139 Dave Armstrong 61:46, 210 Vince Murphy 68:30, 227 Ruth
Murphy 70:32,
257 Mick Mahoney 72:38, 279 Judi Evans 76:45
Contrary to rumour (and the results) it wasn't Mick Jones that finished 2 places in front
of Andy Armstrong.
Yorkshire vets Race 3 - Meltham
5 Pete Pyrah 40:43, 28 Harry McGill 46:43, 36 Pete Huby 49:58, 42 Barney Lerner 51:20, 44

46 Vince Murphy 53:16, 49 Mick Twyman 53:55.
Ladies: 6. Helen Love 50:46, 12 Ruth Murphy 59:02
A busy weekend for the Murphy's. Barney subsequently put himself forward
(unwittingly) for the most bizarre injury of the year award - damaging his cruciate
ligaments whilst walking across Leeds station!
Guiseley Gallop
53 Jack Verity 42:21, 63 Andy Hudson 43:48, 69 Greg Collet 44:00, 167 Vince Murphy 49:50,
176 Diane Craven 50:19,
180 Dave Armstrong 50:23, 248 Mick Jones 54:04, 299 Ruth Murphy 56:54, 342 Nicola Hudson
58:43
Now taking bets on how long it is before Andy beats me in a proper race!
London Marathon
Well done to everyone from the club who completed the London Marathon in very respectable
times, Ruth's strategy of racing herself into shape obviously paid off!
Shilrey Quarmby 3:58:08, Ruth Murphy 4:14:00, Tony Hart 4:39:54, Jayne hart 4:59:28
Is it just me or does the BBCs coverage of the marathon get worse. It realy annoys
me when they span across the skyline watching rain drops runs down the camera when we're
supposed to be following the marathon. Then in the mens race right at the vital
moment when the leading pack is breaking up they lose their signal! Rant over.
