Good afternoon / evening, Race Report fans. I don’t know about you, but I, for one, have been very happy to see the sunshine this Bank Holiday weekend. I hope all of you who are just getting into your Half Term breaks have a thoroughly lovely break, and see lots more of Mr Sun and Mr Blue Sky (please tell us why, you had to hide away for so long.)
Details of how to book sessions for next week are below. Please note that you must check there is space available on your preferred session(s) before booking.
Important message to all those attending our Training Sessions and those looking to do races again shortly. We know some of you have still not renewed your membership for the current year. It is important for you, and important for the Club, as the Insurance cover for incidents that occur in training with the Club only applies to fully paid up Club members. If you are not sure if you have paid, you can check with Steve Field whose details are on the membership application forms. Steve is handing over the reins of Membership Secretary shortly, so I want to take the opportunity to thank him and his wife Ann for the superb work they have done for the Club in the role over many years now. The group training sessions are very well supported, but there may be some members who find that the sessions are now not meeting their requirements, perhaps because we are currently not having a faster and slower group split. If you have stopped attending because you feel you would prefer a less intensive session, with the emphasis more on coaching, then please contact Trevor Brawn at his email address on our website.

Chiltern athletes have been competing in a variety of locations this weekend.
Battersea Park U15 Alden Collier made the trip to South London to compete in the top 800m race at an endurance open meeting organised by Herne Hill Harriers. Alden had a great run to be third and log a PB of 1.58.50 which leads the national rankings in his age group. Bromley Also in PB form was U23 Harry Cox who competed in a hurdles and middle distance open meeting at Norman Park, Bromley, home of Blackheath and Bromley Harriers. Harry was also in the top seeded race and had a strong run to be third and record 1.52.74 Milton Keynes Alicia Bushell (U20) and Charlotte Docwra (U17) went to the popular Soar MK3000 Special meeting at Stantonbury Stadium. There were sixteen graded 3000m races taking place in the drizzle and both athletes were in the mixed ‘N’ race. Consistent lap times led to both girls well placed at the bell, but Charlotte had a storming last lap to record a PB of 10.55.76. Alicia had another solid run to log 11.07.61. Good Evening, Race Report fans. I hope you have had a lovely weekend. An early shout-out to all those who were participating at the Windsor, Slough, Eton and Hounslow Open Meeting today.

Alex Johnson (U20) battled shin pain to record a solid 4.11.02 to be third and U15 Alden Collier finished well after a well-paced run to log an English Schools National Standard of 4.12.38 in fourth. Alden lies second in the national rankings. 3000m Just one race for this one and a big Chiltern presence did well. U20 Ben Jackson was seventh in 9.55.87. U17 Angus Stoneham ran 9.58.07, U20 Sammy Bennetts 10.00.35, U15 Max Baxter 10.09.77, U15 Alex Hughes 10.10.30, and U20 Alicia Bushell 11.02.77. 1500m Steeplechase Holly and Abbie Henderson were making their debut in the chase.

Abbie Henderson hurdled well but faceplanted (twice!) in the water jump. Despite this her time of 5.30.83 was very good. Details of how to book sessions for next week are below...
