14th
January 2009 Unfortunately, due to clashes and other
commitments, Crowborough ( who combine with Wadhurst Runners to compete as one
team in the East Sussex Cross-Country League) have not been able to field a
complete team in the first two races of the cross country season 2008 - 2009.
But we are expecting for better things from the next race, our home fixture on
Ashdown Forest to be held on Sunday 1st February 2009. We need as
many runners as possible plus helpers with the organisation and marshalling.
Please contact Roger Stone if you can help.

CROSS COUNTRY RACE RESULTS, 2007 - 2008 Season
Full
Results for 2007 - 2008 Season.
Ashdown Forest Cross Country,
December 16th 2007
We were very lucky to have a beautiful sunny day for
our cross-country fixture on Sunday. However, even though the wind had
dropped, it was still bitterly cold.
First off were the juniors who did a lap of about 1
mile. The three from Crowborough did very well – Phoebe was one of the
youngest to take part, Fenella a year younger and Briony the youngest of all in
the field. They will certainly improve a great deal as they grow
older.

It was great to see such a good turnout in the senior
race, which followed the usual 5 mile course with its two energy-sapping
hills. The combined Crowborough/Wadhurst team put out 23 runners, which
is the most I have seen since I joined the club 5 years ago. Good
performances all round also meant that the team came in 2nd out of 9
– again the best result for a long time – and it puts us up into equal 3rd
place after two races. Let’s see if we can keep this up.
Individually new members Jake Burbery and John Tighe put in good runs and
promises even better ones to come while Hilary had a fine run to lead in our
ladies.

As usual, a big thanks must go to all the
marshals and those who helped with the start and finish : Ian & Lyn,
Dominique, Russell T, Nick, Sharon, Paul Marten, Mark Taylor, Sid, Andy &
Wendy Parkin, Denise Gowing (and her daughter who took photographs) plus the
Red Cross volunteers who came all the way from Dartford and Maidstone.
Also thanks to all the Crowborough runners who helped
beforehand with car parking and setting up and then helped clear away
afterwards, not forgetting those who brought much appreciated cakes for the
participants.
Whitbread Hollow, Sunday 4th November 2007, [ East Sussex League race ].
Bright sunshine and not a hint of mud greeted the 13
Crowborough Runners who took part in the first East Sussex League’s first cross
country race of the season.
They joined with five members of Wadhurst’s club to form a
joint team, taking fifth place, despite being one runner short in the women’s
team.
John Lowden
continued his sparkling form this season, with fifth place, covering the five
mile course at Whitbread Hollow near Eastbourne in a time of 29:36.(Incidentally it was my
fastest time at Whitbread Hollow this millennium as it was my best time since
1999. John)
Junior coach Mary Nightingale led the ladies in, with a time
of 40:14. Earlier, in the junior race, she was delighted to see Crowborough’s
team, all aged 11 or under, perform strongly against boys and girls up to four
years older. Twins Georgina and Harriet Somers came 20th and 22nd,
while Fenella Smith, the second youngest competitor taking part, was 35, three
places behind her big sister Phoebe.

STONE: 33-14; BRYAN TAPSELL:35-09 (PB); KEVIN BATTELL: 35-38; PETER

Race Report
It may have been like running through a
cold shower in a gale, but that did not prevent 364 entrants to last
Sunday’s Crowborough 10k finishing with smiles on their faces – albeit
of relief that this notoriously tough race was over for another year.
Times for the two-lap course, which includes the ford and steep climb of
Palesgate Lane, were slower than last year, reflecting the difficult
conditions. First man home was Henry Mountcastle of Hastings Road Runners in 35:11,
with Simon Herbert of Beckenham Running Club Second in 36:19.
Fifty-one-year-old John Lowden of Crowborough Runners was sixth in 37:15 and
first in the V2 male category. Russell Beckett also put in a fine performance,
finishing 11th in 39.05. Ruth Briggs of Tunbridge Wells Harriers was first woman home in 40:23,
followed by Hailsham Harriers’ Samantha Alvarez in 41:09.
Other Crowborough
Runners taking part were Francesca Nelson, who finished in 49:18; Steve Hickey,
56:17; Louise Ellis 1.05.45. Our regular guest runner Andrew Kitts was pleased
to finish the race in under 50 minutes for the first time, finishing in 47.40.
The race began with a minute’s
applause in memory of Len Cumbers, the oldest member of Crowborough Runners and
former chairman of its 10k committee, who died earlier this year.
Crowborough mum-of-two Libby Smith took part for the first time with her
friend Sarah Ovenden, who works at Goldsmith’s Leisure Centre. Both were elated
by their run in the rain, which they finished together in 60:56. Mrs Smith said: “I
really enjoyed the experience. I definitely want to take my running further and
I’m thinking about joining Crowborough Runners. I’ve been training for some
months and already it’s had a good effect on my health – my blood pressure is
much lower than before I started.”

Bewl 15, 1st July 2007
A
minute’s silence in memory of Crowborough Runner Len Cumbers preceded this
year’s race, which was started by Jean his widow. Len’s daughter Gill took
part in the run, which this year featured a course about 30 cms deep in mud (as
opposed to last year’s 30 degrees of heat). Officially, the going was ‘soft
to Glastonbury’, with one particular section that can only be described as a
slide. Still, it was good fun and the cakes, as usual were much appreciated. Mr
Tapsell apparently ate five.

Rob Shannon from Brighton was 2nd in 9.50 so the M50's had a 1-2 and we showed
those "youngsters" we are not passed it yet.

runner home (03:34:20 PB) and a well-deserved 19th position in her

Folkstone 10, Saturday
7th April 2007
Bob the
Silver Streak Garrard celebated his 65th by running the flat and well
marshalled Folkestone 10 in 78.06. How many 65 year olds in this country can do
10 in sub 8 minute miles? He was paced by messrs Maddison and Welbury for the
first half to keep him on track. Dominique ran a PB in 1.48.18 with Peter
and James coming home in 76.13.
It's a
well organised event starting in Hythe going along the coast past Sandgate to
just short of Folkestone harbour and back. The weather was glorious and a sea
breeze kept the warm temperatures bearable.

In the team competition, we came 7th at Pestalozzi and 6th
overall for the season out of 9 teams – we need to have a few more competitors,
especially men, scoring well next season if we are to improve on that.
Thanks to everyone who came and supported. They all seemed to
enjoy it – so those of you who have never tried cross country might like to
give it a go next season.

Crowborough clinches three cross country cups
on Sunday 25th February 2007
A much reduced contingent from Crowborough went to the last cross
country race of the season last Sunday (25th) held at Pestalozzi
near Sedlescombe. The rain stopped just before the start, but the ground was
extremely wet and slippery no matter what type of shoes you were wearing.
Four of us slid our way round the three laps of the course. There is a
long hill near the end of each lap and the grass on it turned more and more into
mud each time.
The Crowborough results were :

Bryan and Brenda did enough to ensure their third place overall for the
season while Nicky had already done the hard work in the previous races, so we
ended up with three awards (each consisting of a cup and vouchers) :

Well done to all of them. A first cross country prize for Bryan,
while Nikky and Brenda are making a habit of it, having won the same prizes
last year.
Bad luck to Jane who narrowly missed out, being fourth in her F45
category despite scoring 932 points. Coming back from injury, she made a
slow start in her first race – if she had been running early on as she was at
the end of the season, she would definitely have won a prize.

Lancing 7.5 Miles - Sunday 7th January 2007
Peter and James ran the Sussex County Cross
Country Senior Men's race - hilly and very
muddy in Lancing up to the Cissbury Ring (well, almost) three times. Peter

Vets AC 10,000 Metre Track
Championships, Battersea Park
-Wednesday 6th September
John Lowden
ventured up to London for his first ever 10,000m track race (25 laps) in over
30 years of track running but it was well worth the wait.
In a mixed race
with the W35's, M40's, M45's and M50's John won a tactical race by sitting on
the shoulder of the leader for 24½ laps and then out-sprinting him over the
last 200 metres (covered in 30 seconds).
The time was
immaterial due to the heat and humidity but for the record was 36.11.

Will Page 10K - Sunday 27th August
Crowborough runners fielded twenty two runners at
the Will Page 10K in Newick last Sunday aiming to improve their second place
overall in the Sussex Grand Prix road race league with runners aged from 21 to
75. The men were led home by John Lowden, who was 4th, in a time of 35.51.
John is on course to win the SGP veterans championship in his age category for
the fifth year in a row. The ladies were led home by Hannah Arnold in 45.30,
followed by the club's junior coach, Mary Nightingale.
New members Dan Pike, Hilary Arrowsmith and Annie
Sidgwick all posted personal best times on the undulating course on a warm
day. Club Captain Kevin Battell admitted the going was tough, following a 23
mile training run the previous week with James Welbury, Dave Theunissen and
Club Chairman, Peter Maddison, who are all training for the Lausanne Marathon
on October 22nd in Switzerland. Peter did a credible 43.59 on his 55th
birthday, his first race as a V4 Veteran. It was also good to see Nikki Watts,
returning from injury, who came in with Chief Club Coach Sid Smith. The
'boro runners times were as follows:
Men: John Lowden (4th), 35.51.
Dan Pyke, 39.10. Kevin Battell, 40.09. Roger Stone, 40.43. Robin Hynde,

Midhurst 10k - Sunday 13th August
The weather forecast on Saturday
night said it would be cold, wet and windy on Sunday morning ie, perfect 10k
racing weather. So I drove the 50 miles to Midhurst to try out their 10k
course. Nice route comprising 2
flattish laps on tarmac but it did attract a lot of riff raff from Hampshire
! I managed 9th overall in 35.36
and 1st M50 much to the dismay of the Portsmouth M50's.
John Lowden.

Firle
Beacon 10K – Wednesday 12th July
The flyer said “In the historic
grounds of Firle Place”, well I thought that sounds like a nice change from a
hilly Wednesday club run. I should have read it more carefully as it said
“Start & Finish in the grounds”.
As we waited to go the starter
told us it was in fact a 10.3K race or thereabouts, they will check it sometime
with Satellite Navigation. We were off and the race followed the foot of the
Downs in an Easterly direction towards the Bo Peep road and up to the car park.
Those of you who have done one of the Sunday breakfast runs will know the road
up to Bo Peep car park is very steep. At this point I decided to let Kevin run
on and once he was out off sight I walked for a couple off sections (well I did
do Tuesday’s track session). Once at the top we stopped for water and then on
to Firle Beacon. It was a beautiful
warm, sunny evening and the views were spectacular, which made the climb well
worthwhile (please don’t forget to take time and appreciate the beauty of
Sussex, except off course in SGP races).
After the Beacon the run was all
downhill (heaven) and I spent the last 3K chatting to a Burgess Hill lady about
marathons and other fun races. One interesting fact I learnt was that if you
loose 1lb of weight you will run 80 seconds faster in a marathon, roll on
Lausanne.
After the run shower facilities
were organised by Russell and there was a BBQ, eat all you like for £5.00. Next year they are banning Mr Lowden and Mr
Battell.
I would recommend this race,
there were only about 80 runners this year but that will grow as word spreads.
Results as follows:
John Lowden (3rd) 39.27
Kevin Battell (29th) 48.40
Nigel Bateman (42nd) 51.26
Pastel Pete (44th) 53.29
Russell Taylor (72nd) 65.38

Bewl 15 – Sunday 2nd July
Another
well organised race by Mr Kemp and the Wadhurst crew. This year’s Bewl 15 was an absolute scorcher with temperatures
reaching 30oC! This didn’t
deter the Crowborough Runners though and our ladies team (Hannah, Fran and Liz)
came 3rd for the second year running. Congratulations also go to Mr Cumbers who is now the proud holder
of the V8 record.

Le Touquet 10K – Saturday 1st July
Well, Le
Touquet was a fun race on July 1st! Like England, I didn't win. Nearly 2000 runners with the usual pushing
and shoving at the start but this year was somewhat hard as it was 30oC
and quite humid. It's a great race (chipped*) combining a 10 and a 20K at the
same time, and finishing on a nice track in the posh town centre.
Le
Touquet is known as "Paris Plage", for those that don't know, and has
many wide green and leafy avenues plus a smart town centre and a lovely sandy
beach. It's only an hours drive from Calais.
If anyone
is interested, I'm thinking of taking the Fast Ferry from Dover to Boulogne
with bikes and cycling to Le Touquet on a Friday next year, down the well
maintained cycle paths that lead almost all the way from Boulogne down to L2K
for about 20 miles (Ullrich and Basso need not apply), running on the Saturday
and cycling back on a Sunday. Check out www.speed-ferries.com as prices can be
very cheap.
For those
not wanting to cycle, you can drive, or take the train from Boulogne to
Etaples, just outside L2K.
Should be
an easy warm up ride for Claire, Joe, Jane, Sharon and Roger Watts who have
successfully ridden from Calais to the Med to raise money for the Cancer Unit
at Maidstone Hospital - well done to them (eat your heart out Lance). I believe Claire has raised mega amounts in
sponsorship.
* Kev the
word for "chip" in French is "puce", not "frite",
although I know how you like "frites". (Peter - don't try and
pronounce any of these words...........)

On Sunday 26th February five
Crowborough Runners crossed the border and competed in the Tunbridge Wells Half

them were late for the start due to Kevin applying copious amounts of Tiger
Balm in an attempt to keep warm and Andrew being unable to decide where to put
his gels in his lycras. All in all,
despite the cold weather and the hills, some good results were achieved. Was also good to see Sid cheering us on at
the top of Fordcombe Hill….outside the Chafford Arms!

Eastbourne - Sunday 26th November 2006
For the second race in a row, it was a beautiful sunny day
for the East Sussex Cross Country League fixture (I doubt we can thank global
warming since the day before it was absolutely bucketing down). The course
is situated in the lee of Beachy Head, but it still managed to blow a gale and,
while there were no dramatic hills, there are constant undulations so that you
really notice it by the end of the third lap.
In the junior race of about one mile, Georgina and Harriet
Somers ran well. They were running against many children older than them
and for their age, were the third and fourth girls. Well done to them.

The
seniors were led home by Roger Watts for the second race in a row – it is good
to see him back running for us. Behind him, Roger Stone sneaked past Kevin
at the top of the last hill. With Andrew Johnson making his first
appearance on the country, we managed to field a full men’s team for once.
The ladies provided their usual full complement and it was good to see Jane
Boulton back running (and treating it like a stroll in the park).

Eridge 10 – Sunday 17th September 2006

East Sussex Cross Country League :
Pestalozzi Village – Sunday 26th February 2006
The last East Sussex cross country race of the season was held at
Pestalozzi on Sunday 26th February. Unfortunately for various
reasons, including the lure of other races such as the Tunbridge Wells Half
Marathon, only three of us turned out to run for Crowborough – a big drop since
we have been averaging 13 over the season.
The race went really well for me – I was in 6th place for
most of the race but always with runners breathing down my neck. Although
I lost 3 places on the last hill, I still finished in my best ever position in
the league. James ran steadily, having done a 17 mile training run
the previous day, while Brenda continued in her good form and consolidated her
overall position. The results were:

East Sussex Cross Country League :
Cross In Hand – Sunday 12th February 2006
Well done to those who ran at
Cross-in-Hand. A good turnout (though we were missing a couple of ladies for a
full team) and some fine individual performances meant that we were 4th
team on the day and improved to 6th team overall for the season.

A great performance from John who
was only beaten by a non-scoring runner, while Bryan continues to improve and
Mark is getting back to form. Nikki was 5th lady.
I notice that Sharon and Sid did
not finish together for once. Did they have an argument during the race?

East Sussex Cross Country League – Whitbread Hollow
22nd January 2006
Maybe it is the effect of global
warming, but yet another cross-country race was held with hardly a trace of mud
anywhere to be found. The weather was even sunny and, by the standard of
most January races, not too cold. So apologies to all those of you who
only turned out in order to run up and down vertical mudslides in appalling
weather. Once again we had a good turnout
– we just needed one more lady and we would have had a complete team of 15 – 14
started and 13 finished. As far as I can remember it is the only race
that I have ever started and had to pull out but it gave me a chance to watch
the rest of the runners as they came past: Kevin strolling along not wanting to
get injured again (a far more sensible approach than I took); James striding
past and looking as though he was enjoying cross-country for once (careful
James, it could become a habit); Bryan looking pleased with beating the club
supremo; the supremo himself, looking behind to make sure he was not last this
week; Mike Garland, running in exotic Sussex for a change; Mark Taylor, grimly
holding off a challenge from Nicky who only needed another uphill to beat him;
Albert, sprint finish belying his years as usual; Andrew, thinking that this
cross-country was not as difficult as it had been cracked up to be (just wait
until we find you a difficult course); Sharon and Sid pretending to have a
battle to beat each other until they were out of sight and could take it easy
as a Sunday stroll; Ron, striding round looking cool; and Brenda, as always
smiling (Brenda, you are meant to leave your sprint finish until the end not
use it up getting to the start).

Unfortunately with a number of

this is still a huge improvement on last year when we were 9th
because we only had one runner. So thanks to everyone who turned out.

Well done to everyone who competed in the cross

boy (and a year younger than the winner) and Lauren was 2nd girl
(and two years younger than the winner).

There were a lot of good performances from the seniors
as well and the team once again scored a solid 5th place, helped by
our three team members from Wadhurst (for the cross-country Crowborough and
Wadhurst count as one team just as Heathfield and Utopia do).

Barns
Green ½ Marathon
on 30.10.2005
Kevin and Peter accepted the
challenge of a ½ marathon the day after a Marathon.
Setting a steady pace they came through 6 miles at 48 minutes when
Kevin pushed on to finish in 1-39 followed by Peter in 1-44.
When interviewed by the press
Peter said as he eased into his wheelchair “we just wanted to show that
being old doesn’t have to stop you achieving sporting excellence and it
doesn’t say anything in the race rules about Zimmer frames”.
A spy in the camp tells me that they will be enjoying a few mugs of Horlicks
to celebrate.
They will be signing
autographs and answering questions on ‘How to Grow Old Gracefully’ on
Wednesday evening.

Beachy
Head Marathon, Eastbourne
on 29.10.2005
Club Supremo is Whipped at
the Beachy Head Marathon by running dynamo Nicky Watts. Nicky stormed by Peter at
around the 20 mile mark with Kevin in tow. When asked how she was running so
well she said “I put it all down to Sid’s training; in fact I would have
been much quicker if I hadn’t been pulling Kevin along”.
Well done to Nicky on a fantastic race. Peter licked his wounds and
set out with Kevin, to show Nicky that the Club Supremo and the Club Captain
are not ones to take it lying down.

Abbots
Wood Cross Country on 23.10.2005
For over half of the rest of
the first lap (of two) the course consisted of a number of muddy bogs
separated by some reasonable paths. But the organisers obviously had a
sense of humour, because they then diverted runners off the normal path,
through the woods and then, to our surprise, along a stream for twenty metres.
The marshals at this point shouted encouragement and indicated on which side
of the stream the water was shallowest – personally I could not find any
difference, disappearing up about the knees wherever I ran. However, the
runners also generally took this all in good spirit too. “I have never
laughed so much while running” to quote one anonymous curly-haired lady.
Towards the end of the first
lap there was a point where there was no marshal and the route markings were
difficult to find. As a result of this, the first twenty or so runners
all went wrong, leaving some of us in unexpectedly high positions at the end
of the first lap. During the second lap, half the leading runners
managed to regain their positions – it was an unusual experience for me to
have John Lowden whizzing past me at that stage of a race. However, some of those who
went wrong, were unable to regain their former position – these included
Kevin, who probably would have done better if he had not decided to try the
breaststroke as the best way of getting through the long puddle on each of the
two laps.
John did very well to come
second and there were good first time performances from Bryan, Nicky, Matt,
Steve, Ron and Sharon. As a result of the good runs and having so many
runners, Crowborough also did well as a team, coming in 5th and
very close to the 3rd team. So let’s try to keep it
up and even improve for the remaining races.

Bewl 15 M on 6.7.2003
Maddison storms past Battell in magnificent style at around 3 miles. Peter and
Bob Garrard then run with Kevin until he takes a natural break, whereupon they
forge ahead. Bob then suggests we should slow down as if we beat Kevin it will
break him, so we let him pass in a most sporting manner. Later on, at a late
drinks station, Bob steals Peter's water, thus forcing him back to collect
another cup. This gives Bob the chance to push by and he holds that advantage
until the finish.
A great morning was had by all, but Bob had better watch out at future drink
stations !

Descriptions
and Results for 200
3 - Cross Country Races
Pestalozzi
on 2nd November 2003
The first race of the East Sussex Cross-Country league was held on Sunday 2nd
November at Pestalozzi near Battle and four Crowborough Runners braved the wind
and constant rain to run.
Congratulations
to Emma Stevenson who was the first girl home (and second junior overall) in
12:39 on a 1.5M course.
In the senior race (4.5M), Gill Stevenson ran well
to finish as first female vet and third lady overall in 36:37. For the men,
Kevin Battell strolled round in 34:59, while Roger Stone came home in 35:48.
Noticeably absent were certain so-called tough guys as well as others who
obviously decided they did not want to get their shoes too wet. I hope that more
runners will show that they are not wimps in the remaining races. The next one
is at Cross-in-Hand on 21st December.

Congrats to Jane, who now tells us she is
being sponsored by "Help the Aged". Well, she was merrily running
along (after cycling over 25 miles to Hove before the race) when a spectator
shouted to the runner behind Jane "come on, it’s only an old lady in
front of you, get a move on".
You’re as young as you feel (not how you look, obviously), Jane – but she
was first lady!
(Jane told Peter and I not to tell anyone about this, so once you’ve read this
bit, please keep it a secret).
