Signing off.....................

It's been a good year and a half for this blog, but it's time for the club at last to have a proper website. The new link is here, so get clicking..............
Thanks to all the contributors for their excellent race reports and pictures, especially Jon, who has provided more content than the rest of us put together. Most of all, however, thanks to those of you whose athletic endeavours have provided us all with the inspiration to get out and run.

The Beacon 10km - 2nd September 2007

Five Tewkesbury AC members turned out for the Beacon race staged at Haresfield. The main focus was on Nigel Tillott who was on target to smash the 40 minute mark. So far, it's remained elusive to him after recording times of 40.10 and 40.03 just a couple of weeks prior. Tillott ran well but a sub 40 minute 10km run remains elusive for now as he crossed the line in 40.14 Agonisingly close however, on a fairly undulating course it's a great time.
Club mate Angie Sadler recorded a time several minutes off her best, best explained by the huge ultra-distance challenges she has been tackling this year. Yet testament to her ability, she scooped the 1st prize in her category.
Carol Cowley leads the county in her age category these days and just missed out by seconds on a another trophy. Club Captain Cathy Dudfield is going through the process of finding herfeet again after ten weeks out with a broken foot. She took just 50 minutesto complete the course. The fifth runner home for the club was Mick Morris who finished in good shape.

Nigel Tillott - 40.14 mins
