Fri 20 Jun Nacht Van West-Vlaanderen Marathon (Night Of Flanders)			Road Results Index   Full Results Andy reports: "I did my first overseas marathon last night, starting at 8pm in Torhout, Belgium, the 29ste Nacht Van West-Vlaanderen, The night of Flanders Marathon; on a 100 Marathon Club trip. The course starts in the town centre, runs a 10km loop back into the town square and out the other side of town on a 32km loop, before finishing in the town square. The course is flat and fast and completely traffic free, with temporary floodlights for the country sections for when night falls. I had a good steady run finishing in 3.25.02, and that was a 3 minute negative split. Excellent event, band at the finish playing long in to the night. The town was still buzzing at 3am, while the 100km runners were completing their laps, bars open and hundreds still on the streets. The whole town gets involved and the sports centre is open all night as the race HQ. The bar was still open and hundreds chatting when I moved to the basketball court, which was the dormitory. No British marathon is organised like this one or provides the same atmosphere and value for money. One definitely for the diary for 2009."

Mon 2 Jun Cork Marathon			Road Results Index   Full Results Steve reports: "On Monday 2nd June Mel Johnstone, Allan Rumbles and Steve Cooney were back on their marathon trail. Although they were a man down (Andy Stalley was unable to join them in this marathon), they still participated in the Cork Marathon in Ireland. They joined a large number of 100 Marathon Club Members in celebrating Dave Ross's 100th marathon. Several of the group wore fancy dress. Mel wore her Celtic shirt. Allan and Steve decided to wear their club vests and went disguised as Collingwood Club runners. The course was fairly flat apart from a couple of small hills and conditions were good for running.....nothing like their last marathon in Halstead when it was so hot that the tarmac melted! They were encouraged all the way around by the crowd who helped Steve home in a time of 3 hour 19 minutes 28 seconds. This was good enough for 120th place. He passed the halfway mark in 1 hour 40 minutes and 27 seconds so the second half was faster than the first half. Allan was next home in 345th place in 3 hour 45 minutes and 13 seconds. This was his fastest time for a while and he was pleased with this time. Mel followed in a time of 4 hour 36 minutes and 1 second and was 921st. 1337 finished but there were also about 850 teams who completed in the relay marathon. Allan unfortunately had to go home early so was only able to have a couple of drinks. Mel and Steve joined Dave and the 100 Marathon Club for a Guinness or two and were out till the early hours."

Sun 11 May Halstead Marathon			Road Results Index   Full Results Andy reports: "Five Collingwood runners set off under clear blue skys and bright sun this morning in Halstead, Essex for the 14th Halstead Mararthon. It started hot and got hotter and hotter. By the end runners were complaining of the tarmac sticking to their shoes! Steve was first home in 65th place and 3.35.06, with me in 82nd place and 3.40.41, having both suffered in the heat. Steve opened a gap on me of 100yds by 6 miles. I closed him down by 11 miles, only for him to disappear over the horizon by 16 miles, never to be seen again. I had a few problems along the way, but nothing compared to Allan, who came home in 270th and 4.36.41; he was unwell (polite version) before the race and a couple of times during it. Still, he battled it out to finish. Rob was next home in 353rd, 2 seconds outside of 5 hours. Tom completed the Collingwood finishers in 5.58.06 for 423rd. Good course, good medal, good t-shirt, ten drinks stations, well marshalled and a new race HQ in the local leisure centre."

Sun 6 Apr Bungay Marathon			Road Results Index   Full Results Steve reports: "On Sunday 6th April the Collingwood marathon quartet of Melanie Johnstone, Andy Stalley, Allan Rumbles and Steve Cooney accompanied by Dave Ross from Sutton Runners traveled to Bungay in Norfolk to compete in the marathon there. All 5 were planning on completing 6 marathons in 6 weeks before joining Dave for his 100th marathon in Cork on 2nd June. Andy, Allan and Steve had warmed up by doing the Banstead Time Trial the day before. Andy showed a glimpse of what was to come by breaking 20 minutes for the first time at Banstead. They drove through a snowstorm on the way and despite Andy insisting that it was due to stop, it worsened as Bungay approached. Allan unfortunately forgot his race number and admitted that he was hoping that they would not accept his entry so he was intending to do the 2 km fun run instead. A replacement number was given to him and he reluctantly lined up with the others at the start. They started in a snow blizzard. Hail then sleet followed. Then it was back to the snow again. Despite the atrocious conditions Andy, who has been improving drastically since the New Year smashed his personal best by a magnificent 7 minutes in 3 hour 12 minutes. This time, in his 61st marathon, guarantees him entry into the 2009 London Marathon. Steve followed him home, completing his 40th marathon in 3 hour 36 minutes. Allan was just over a minute behind and finished his 32nd marathon in 3 hour 37 minutes. His next marathon is this Saturday in Exmoor which coincides with his 40th Birthday. Mel, completing in her 53rd marathon finished in 4 hour 3 minutes. A shield, mug and keyring were given to each finisher. The race is value for money and all plan on returning next year."

I was slightly annoyed to finish 34 seconds behind my target of 2:04 (by my watch), but was gratified that I kept to my negative split strategy, with the last 2 miles being my quickest."

Sun 16 Mar Hastings Half			Road Results Index Kate reports: "I have now managed to complete 5 half marathons in the space of 5 weeks, being Sussex Beacon Half, Tunbridge Wells Half, Eastbourne Half, Leith Hill Half, (a very hilly tough off road one in 3.25) on 9th March and the latest being Hastings Half on 16th March, despite having only just recovered from tracheitis, and a chest infection and the wet weather was against my favour too. I still managed to complete this one in record time breaking my three hours and came in at 2.58.47 which was a very pleasing result. I now have the Kingston 16 to look forward to on 30th March before London."

Sun 27 Jan Gloucester Marathon			Road Results Index Andy reports: "Four Collingwood runners set out on the 1st Gloucester Marathon, since 2000. There was also a 50km race starting at the same time. Both races did a outward leg of about 2 miles to join the main lap. 3 laps for the marathon and 4 for the 50km. The marathoners then run the same outward leg back to the finish, while the 50km'ers go straight to the finish. Two male members, Steve and I, two female members Mel and Allan, started the marathon! Unfortunately for Allan, AKA Alana, Mel sent in his entry. Mel is used to ticking the M/F question F, so naturally she entered Alana as a woman! Easy mistake to make? Steve set out strongly as usual, leaving first me and then Mel, on route to a probable sub 3.20 time (having forgotten to charge his Garmin, so he was able to work out his mileage). There were no mile markers, just 10km, 20km, 30km and 40km signs. Mel was also away fast and It took me 8 miles to close her down, as she was flying. Allan took a more sensible pace, given his return to training. So, the order on the road was Steve, me, Mel and Allan. I was first to finish in 42nd (1st Collingwood runner), in 3.40.36, having been sub 8 minute miles until hitting the wall after 21 miles (Banstead Woods yesterday may not have been a clever idea!). Mel finished strongly in 61st and 3.54.18 (2nd Collingwood runner). Due to a marshalling error, she was sent off on a fourth lap, instead of the leg back to the finish. Fortunately, someone realised the error and chased after Mel to return her to the route, with an extra 1/2 mile run! Allan finished comfortably in 4.05.54 (2nd Collingwood lady!). So where was Steve, I hear you ask, as we asked, particularly as he drove! Steve finished the marathon in 105th in 4.28.30! Steve was not as lucky as Mel. The same marshalls who failed to send Mel to the finish, actually sent Steve off on a 4th lap, which sadly no one noticed. Steve was wearing a marathon number, so it should not have happened. Without his Garmin and looking for the 40km sign, Steve ran well around the 4th of 3 laps! No real course map had been provided, so he did not know of the error. By the time he worked it out, he decided to finish the lap. Only to be sent down the leg (as he was a marathon runner) instead of straight to the finish as for the 50km. He probably clocked up 53km! The official outcome was to write to the race director and see if he could have his result transferred to the 50km, as everyone was busy! Over 20 notes for a less than pretty course, only six aid stations, of which only 3 had High-5. No medal, but a whiskey type glass. Little water at the end and you had to surrender your race number or no glass! Nowhere near the value and course of Shakspeare or Robin Hood. Not the greatest of races, just ask Steve (who also did the BWTT yesterday)."
