Rachael and Tara do a double of both Brighton 6 April 2014 and London Marathons 13 April 2014

Details
Created: 13 April 2014

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

Created: 23 February 2014

Muddy course but the weather was mild and dry. Some of those hills were pretty mean. A good turnout from Uckfield with 10 runners. Running were Graham West, Martin Kennett, Rachael Hornigold, Tara Twynman, Kathleen Southall, Richard Page, Tanya Edmondson, Nikki Maher, Peter Wilkes and Lynette Corke.

Overall for the season the joing Uckfield/Heathfield team did well with a 4th finish out of ten teams and just 1 point behind Eastbourne/Seaford. In terms of individuals it was the ladies that dominated this year with Tanya finishing first in her category, other top ten finishes are Lynette 6 Senior ladies, Rachael 6th Lady 35 and Kathleen 7th lady 45. Well done ladies.
