We had a good turn out at the Seaford Half Marathon this morning, with Tanya, Emma Flint, Caley, Christine, Fleur, Judith & Peter. Peter described 'this as very hot but such a lovely route over the downs & along the river from Alfriston'. Also Beckie Pettitt went all the way to Southend to run a Half marathon with her husband today.

The Uckfield have a go sports day is a day for the general public to try various sports/activities. Graham, Lorraine and Dayle had a gazebo at the event to provide information and speak to people who might be interesed in running. We also did a short run/jog at 11am and 2.30pm. Reasonable interest was generated in the club with 10 people showing real interest so hopefully we will so some new faces over the next 2 to 3 weeks.

For most of us doing one marathon is challange enough and may do either Brighton or London but Rachael Hornigold and Tara Twyman opted to do both which are on successive weekends so taht is 2 marathons in 8 days. When I used to run Road marathons all I could do was a short jog the next weekend: not only did they complete both they ran good times in both, Rachael Brighton 3hours 46 London (PB) 4hours 01, Tara Brighton 3hours 46 London 3hours 44 (managing the run teh second one even quicker).

This should not distract from the great achievement of out other runners who (wisely) elected to complete either Brighton or London. All runers for Brighton, Tara Twyman, 3hours 46.24, Rachael Hornigold 3hours 46.25 (PB), Martin Kennett (3hours 56.44, well done getting inside 4 hours), Emma Hyland 4 hours 00.15 (so close to cracking 4 hours) Chris Lugg 4hours 24.05 (PB by 21 minutes well done Chris), Emma Fliont 4hours 56.36, Caley Gibson 4hours 56.37. For London, Tara Twyman, 3hours 44.24, Rachael Hornigold 4hours 01 (PB). Kirstine Kirby 4hours 02
