June 7, 2010 3k Track Championship/July Time Trial handicaps
The Track Championships take place on Wednesday, June 16, at Wishaw Track, 6-9.30pm. The handicaps are:
The next Time Trial is on Tuesday July 6 and the handicaps are:
Joe Hoolaghan has some comments on the handicaps: "The 3k estimated times are based on the best of the last three four-mile times and pro-rated by the ratio of 3k/4m.
"Since 3k is less than half of four miles, we expect participants to run at a slightly faster pace over the shorter distance. Experience has shown that our runners go at about a 7% faster pace over 3k therefore the estimate is reduced further to reflect this.
"The system has worked very well in previous years and actual times are typically very close to the estimated times.
"The list for the handicaps has become unwieldy over the last few months and has overflowed well into three pages, which is very cumbersome for starting the runners at the time trial.
"After consultation with William Martin and Jim Tracey, it was agreed that individuals who had not taken part in a time trial for one year or more would be removed from the time trial and rolling sheets.
"It should not have any real impact as runners who have not run for more than six months require to run for a marker in any case. I have an archive of all results since the time trials started so if anyone did want to know previous results, they will always be available.
"If anyone who has not run for more than one year wishes to be added back onto the sheet, if they let me know I would be more than happy to do that."
June 1, 2010 June Time Trial results
Who knows the David Bowie track Five Years?
Listen up because that's how long it took Gayle Tait to win a time trial and she did it in 29.13 tonight.
She was followed by Ian Young, the first male, on 34.25.
The wooden spoon, often referred to as the Jim Tracey award, went to Phyllis Hands for a less than memorable performance (so wrote Joe Hoolaghan).

May 18, 2010 T&F May Time Trial results
This month's event was won by Claire Ross in an excellent time of 7:23.
This was the second consecutive month Clare has won and the first time at the summer venue of Wishaw track.
Dionne and Rachel accompanied William round the route and they now have start times for next month.
It was clearly too much for William who did not make it over the finishing line.
Thanks to the helpers for covering the route and seeing that all the runners returned safely.

April 7, 2010 April Time Trial results
The rain abated in time for this month's event, which saw the number of participants down to 21, probably as a result of the Easter holidays.
Alistair Kerr was first male on 35.22 and Jessie Miller first woman on 30.49.
The wooden spoon went to a jet-lagged Jill Logan who had returned from a holiday in Japan on Monday.
April 7, 2010 April T&F Time Trial
A break in the weather and the April time trial went ahead last weekend, with Clare Ross running out winner.

Easter eggs for all and look for the runner who is no spring chicken on Flickr.

One DNF but otherwise a successful morning.
See pictures from the event.

January 8, 2010 January Time Trial off
Not surprisingly, Tuesday's event has fallen victim to the weather.
Snow and ice on the route mean it would be too risky to go ahead.
The points-scoring time trials don't begin until next month so there won't be any impact on the 2010 Time Trial championship.
January Time Trial
This month's time trial is due to be held on Tuesday, January 12, but is dependent on the weather.
Please keep an eye on the website for an announcement.
In the meantime, here are the handicaps and the results to December 2009.
