Newbury Triathlon- Sunday 5th Sept |
|
Nick Cook writes:
Preparation for
the Newbury Tri didn’t go quite as planned this year. I did
something to my Achilles tendon during a club training session at
the end of July. I could hardly walk the next day, missed the third
Yateley 10k and have hardly run since.
I managed a slow
3 mile run last Sunday, so decided not to pull out of this
triathlon. Then last week whilst cycling home from work, I cycled
into road work barriers in the rain and went flying!! Bruised both
upper arms and cut a knee. I blame it on rain and steamed up
glasses!!
|
 |
|
It was a nice day on Sunday (for a
triathlon!) a bit overcast, but not too cold. There’s a bit of
hanging about outside at Newbury as the swim is in a 75 yard
outdoor pool, so you don’t want it too cold!
A new thing for this tri this year was chip timing, so
you get an accurate time for each discipline and the transition
times – very useful. It told me my T1 was very slow, 2:48
compared with the winner’s time of 0:37 (I do like to have dry
feet before I start on the cycle!).
There’s not much to say about the swim
and cycle, they went almost exactly as last year. |
I was bit slower on the run, which was
only to be expected considering the problems I’d had with my
Achilles. But it doesn’t hurt too much today, so I’m hoping to be
fit again for this month’s club 10k! The results service for Newbury
is really good and you can click on your name on the website and get
loads of data and comparisons.
There was no medal or paperweight as in previous years, but
the t-shirt was of a much better quality, and there was a banana and
bottle of water at the finish.
This is still my favourite triathlon
(well, the only one this year!) and I hope to do it again next year.
I finished 159th out of 349 finishers. |

Yateley 10 series Race 2 Wed 1st July |
|
Nick Cook writes:
What do
you write new about a race that takes place 3 times a year,
and it’s your 5th year of competing? Well, there are
a couple of things this year. 1) It was the hottest Yateley I’ve
run, and I heard a few similar comments afterwards, so it wasn’t
just me; and 2) I won a spot prize – a tee shirt!!! (I’m glad I
hadn’t bought one).
I started
further back in the throng than I usually do for this race,
so that I wasn’t going to be dragged along at a pace quicker
than I wanted, and that seemed to work. I did slow down a bit at
the end, but not as much as I usually do.
|
 |
Because of the heat, an
extra water station had been place quite early on in the race,
but it was only one table and it was quite busy as I approached
it, so I gave that one a miss. The other stations and the sponge
station were very welcome though!
My aim for this race was to beat my time at Sunday’s WVR
handicap 10k, which I did by over a minute, so I was pleased
with that, although I had hoped to be nearer to 52 minutes.
|
Hopefully it
won’t be so hot for race 3 and I might have chance.
Again, there was a nice medal and drinks at the end and the text
message with my result waiting for me when I got back to the car was
a nice touch.
There was good
WVR contingent here and congratulations to Keith and Geoff for
coming first and second in the M60 category. |

Wokingham Half - Sunday 24th May |
|
Nick Cook writes:
The rearranged Wokingham Half
Marathon was held this Sunday having been postponed due to snow
and ice in February. There was a good Windle Valley contingent
taking part in much warmer conditions than are usually encountered
at this race!
|
 |
|
Living in
Wokingham, I decided to walk/jog to the start and left home
at about 9:00 in warm sunny conditions. I got to the Cantley
fields in good time and made my way to the loos and baggage tent
to deposit my bag. I had another short warm up jog and stretch
and then made my way to the start.
I positioned myself at the 1:55 mark and found Robin who
was after a similar finish time. I hadn’t seen any other Windle
runners until then.
We started on time and I settled in to a steady pace.
When I checked my watch, I realised I was running at 8:15 pace –
a bit fast for me, but I was feeling comfortable so carried on.
I started to slow a bit at 5 miles, but was still feeling good
despite the sun. The shady patches were a welcome respite! |
Although I had
taken water with me, the water stations along the route were a
welcome addition, as my water was getting warm!
The fast pace at the start finally got to me and my last 3 miles
were 10 minute miles, with people overtaking me who I’d earlier
overtaken. There were also a few people who were overcome by the
heat and were being tended to at the side of the road – I hope they
were ok.
I finished in just under 2 hours (chip time) – nowhere near a
PB, but quicker than my Windsor time last September, so I was
pleased with that.
Keith Hull finished 2nd , Geoff Williams 4th
in the V60 category.
The men finished 12th out of 20, the ladies 8th
out of 12. |

Maidenhead 10 Good Friday 10th April 2009 |
|
Nick Cook writes:
I ran the Maidenhead 10 on Good Friday for the 4th year in a
row, and the weather didn’t disappoint (again!) It always seems to
either rain or be very cold. It rained this time.
I got up
nice and early and headed off to the Nortel Business Park in
plenty of time – they said there would be no delays this year –
a 9:30 sharp start without fail (we’ll see!)
Got to the
turn off the A4 and there were loads of cars queuing to get
down to the Park – I’ve always just driven straight in
previously. Anyway, I got parked up, had a wander round, found
the loos and bumped into a few Windle Valley runners (a good WVR
turnout this year).
Went off for a warm up jog and headed off to the start at
about 9:20. Then I heard the announcement that I knew would be
coming, “The start’s been delayed for 10 minutes to give the loo
queues time to go down” – ah well, 10 minutes isn’t too bad.
I positioned myself towards the back of the throng – now
that this race has chip timing there’s no need to get as near to
the front as possible. |
|
The hooter went off at 9:40
and we were off – that’s when the rain started. Just a drizzle,
but enough to be a nuisance for glasses wearers!!
I was running at an average pace of about 8:30 minute
miles (although they were varying greatly – I don’t know if the
mile markers were accurate!) and feeling quite comfortable.
I passed Mark just past the 5 mile marker and was still
feeling good. Then just before the 8 mile mark, I came to the
gentle slope up and over the railway.
Now, I run this part of the course as part of my
lunchtime runs, as I work on one of the airfield estates,
although I run it the other way round. The way I run it, that
gentle slope isn’t a problem, but this way round, it just
drained all the energy out of me, and I slowed down to a 9:25
minute mile.
|
Mark overtook
me during the last mile, but I finished with an 8:35 minute
mile. At the finish we were presented with a medal and a welcome
Mars bar. Fortunately too, there were helpers to get the timing
chips off – I couldn’t bend down to get mine off!!!
Wandered back
to the car and just sat for half an hour before getting out of the
business park – lots of cars this year!!
I was a bit
disappointed with my time of 1:26 – I was hoping for 1:25, but
that bad ninth mile finished me off – more training required before
next year!! There were some good looking times amongst the Windle
Valley runners.
The Men finished 30th out of 40.
The Ladies finished 8th out of 27. Well done!!!

Lakeside Canal Run 25th January 2009 |
|
Nick Cook writes:
Not a very auspicious start to my 2009 racing calendar.
My first event of the year was the Lakeside Canal Run, and I ended
up in hospital!
It was
very different weather from last year – wet and windy rather
than cold and frosty!! The route had changed too, apparently
there had been a fatality on the road part of the course over
Christmas, and the police had advised a change of route. This
meant it was a bit shorter than last year and a lot flatter.
I got to the Lakeside complex quite early and sat in the
car for bit before going off and finding the loos. I then met
Colin and Richard before going for a warm up jog. I felt a bit
of a twinge in my right calf, but hoped it would go away with a
bit of a run. |
 |
The 3rd Lakeside Canal Run
takes runners on the road through forested areas towards
Pirbright, climbing gradually for the first couple of miles
before dropping down to the 4 mile point where the Basingstoke
Canal Tow Path is picked up. The run back along the canal is
very attractive, passing several canal locks on the way. At the
time of planning the long standing canal path diversion due to a
bank slippage at Deepcut is still in place so the full distance
remains at 8.2 miles. |
|
Mark Cox and Peter Hanson
were about too, and we met up at the start. I started off
running with Colin and after a while I started to feel my calf a
bit more and was considering pulling out but didn’t really want
too, so carried on. After a bit I began not to notice it so
much. There were a couple of bottlenecks quite early on, firstly
where we went down onto the canal path and then when we went
back onto the road by a really big puddle – some people just
charged straight through the puddle. |
At about 3 miles Colin
upped the pace a bit, but I was starting to feel my calf again,
so let him go. The 5 mile marker was where I came a cropper. My
glasses were steaming up and I waited until I reached the marker
which was attached to a bridge before looking at my watch.
Suddenly, CRUNCH…my head hit the curved part of the
bridge where I had strayed too close to it. My glasses went
flying into the canal and as I saw them starting to sink into
the depths I dropped to knees and managed to grab them before
they disappeared.
I got back up quickly and was ready to carry on when I
became aware of blood gushing out of my head. I staggered back
to the side of the bridge where one of the event cameramen was
standing and asked him to phone for a marshal. |
He didn’t have
any event phone numbers, so phoned 999.
He passed me his cloth which was keeping his telephoto lens from
getting wet, which I used to try to stem the blood which was pouring
down my front. A spectator on the bridge flagged down the ambulance
which arrived quickly and I was whisked away to Frimley Park
hospital.
I was dealt
with very quickly at the hospital as they didn’t want me
bleeding all over their waiting and triage rooms and I was then able
to phone my wife to come and pick me. The nurses said I wouldn’t be
able to drive again that day. I now have a four inch gash on my head
with eight large stitches in it, and I can hardly walk ‘cos my calf
really hurts now! I shall have to get some physio on it before the
Wokingham Half in two weeks time. |
