Maureen Poole also showed good form to take second place in her age group. Congratulations to all!

A half marathon that bills itself as "not for the fainthearted" saw the fearless Thames ladies in action with Liz Stavreski finishing first lady with Vikki Filsell not far behind in seventh spot. Also good to see James Bogue running in the saltire once more.

Dan Pescod and Charles Copper appear to have duelled over the course to both record the same time of 38:40 with Charles given 70th to Dan's 71st spot!

David Symons and Ian Higgins placed first and second, with Keith, Al, Anna and the ladies captain also present.

The TH&H vets put on a good show at the Claygate Five. Keith and Anna paced each other over a muddy splashy course on a gorgeous sunny day at what is a very "English" event. Anna placed 2nd Super vet with Keith a couple of seconds behind and Maureen and Di close on their heels.

Lucy Hasell started her hen weekend with a sprightly run to place 2nd with 17:22 in a quality ladies field, with chief hen Dorchie Cockerell placing 6th in 18:34. The Thames men, surely not invited to the party, were also in form, with John MacFarlane placing 2nd with 15.41 and Will Cockerell 3rd with 16:17.

Darren Talbot put in a fine 17.34 to place third in a field of 13,000 on a wet and windy evening in Battersea Park.

New member George Garnier is fast becoming our most prolific Summer racer, with another victory at the WCTT, taking him into sixth spot in the TH&H WCTT league table.
