Message from Paul Raimbault regarding the Hash Half:

'Half Marathon day and the 2 mile junior race are just a few weeks away now. If you aren’t running but would be prepared to Marshal for this year’s Hash Half Marathon on Sunday 17th May, or may be help out at a water stop, please could you e-mail me your contact details - here -or give me a call on 857987. I’ll pass your details on to Clive & Sue who are organising the marshals once more. We could still do with more volunteers, so if you can spare a few hours it would really be appreciated, to prove this you get a race T-shirt for your efforts! As a reminder closing date this year is 8th May... if you want you can enter on line - here - I also plan to bring entry forms down to the Andy Coughlan on Sunday and they should be available in the usual sports shops and at Fort Regent'

Race report from the Easter weekend series in Guernsey from Terri O'Donoghue.................

'I survived the Easter running Festival in Guernsey last weekend! It started on Good Friday with a 10k, 188 runners took part. This was just 5 days after the Spartan/Fitness First 10k where I achieved a pb. My legs were still a little tired to say the least, in fact I was in so much pain I had to get myself an emergency sports massage on my calves because I couldn’t see myself getting through the weekend! I took it really easy & finished in a time of 49:02. The weather was perfect for running, it had been raining that morning so it was still cloudy & luckily it managed to hold off for the duration of the race! I was absolutely shattered afterwards & was like a zombie for the rest of the day. It probably didn’t help that my ferry into Guernsey the previous night was delayed & I didn’t get to my accommodation until midnight; I slept for a staggering 11hours that night!!!

Saturday saw only 120 people take part in a 4.75mile Cross Country, the terrain was a mixture of grass, gravel, sand & cliff paths. The course was one loop & the scenery was so beautiful I totally forgot I was meant to be racing; I was obviously enjoying it far too much! I finished in a time of 39:44.
Easter day was a cross country relay. 36 teams took part & I managed to hook up with three Guernsey Hash House Harriers. We each had to complete a very tough 2mile cross course. Our total finishing time was 61:35; my individual time was 15:51. I took a very quick visit out to Herm that afternoon where I spent the entire time walking around their cliff paths, probably not good preparation for the half marathon the following morning but hey, my legs were already knackered from all the running I had already done so I figured what was going to be was going to be!

166 people took part in the Easter Monday half marathon. I wasn’t expecting much of myself after what I had already put my legs through the previous 3 days so I was pleasantly surprised to finish in 1:45:19, just 3 minutes slower than my pb! I had a very well deserved relaxing afternoon, 2 hours in an outdoor hot tub in glorious sunshine with cups of tea, Easter eggs & flapjacks – bliss!!

And when I returned home, I discovered on the GIAAC website that I had come 2nd overall in my age group (W35)'

Dave Ibbotson won a stunning victory in the J.S.A.C Healthspan Road Race Series
15 km event along the Five Mile Road at the weekend.

By the 5km mark both he and Nick Le Cocq had claimed back the early lead established by former Leeds United footballer Andy Murfin.

Ibbotson’s performance also gave him the run of the day award, finishing over 2 minutes clear of Murfin, who managed to get the better of Le Cocq by 14 seconds.  Simon Roderick and Bryce Alford both ran well, finishing 5th and 6th respectively, just in front of first female home Jo Gorrod.  “I had intended training in France this weekend, but upon arriving found a problem with the waterworks, so that’s why I did the race today,” said an exhausted Gorrod at the finish.

Second women home, eleventh overall and winner of the B race was Carol Knight who dropped Kevin Lovatt and Dave Woodsford, on the way back from la Pulente.
Sue Le Ruez was the Group C victor ahead of Della Roderick, while in group D Terri O’Donoghue finished in front of Rob Benest.

Jersey Spartan AC ran a 10km race as part of Healthspan Road Race Series at the weekend, starting and finishing at the top of L’Etacq Hill via Vinchelez Manor and Plemont.

Before the race the Club held a minutes silence followed by applause in honour of Jayson Lee, a much loved long-time club member who passed away recently.

In damp cold and windy conditions which slowed the runners down considerably, Andy Murfin, Dave Ibbotson and Nick Le Cocq gradually drew away from the rest of the field.  Murfin the former Burton Albion footballer slowly increased his lead, coming home in 35 minutes 48 seconds.  “I’m in training for the Bath half-marathon in March, so this was a good tune up for that event” said the winner.  Dave Ibbotson, a specialist at the shorter distance was second in 36 minutes 12 seconds, nearly a minute ahead of Nick Le Cocq who ran 37 minutes 04 seconds “I managed to get away from Nick, so I didn’t have to use my famous kick today” said the runner-up.

With Jo Gorrod warm weather training in Abu Dhabi, it was an exciting race for the club’s leading women. Carol Knight lead all the way until 200 metres from the end before being overtaken by Sarah Corcoran and Kerry Petulla. Corcoran (41.56) just getting the nod over Petulla (41.57).

Run of the day deservedly went to Bomber Lee. It had been an extremely difficult week for him. He started the race in last place, slowly weaving his way through the field to finish 9th in a very commendable 39 minutes 19 seconds.

Divisional Winners were 'A' Andy Murfin, 'B' Phil Terry, 'C' Sue Le Ruez and 'D' Terri O’Donoghue, and age group winners were (men) Senior Andy Murfin, vet. Jon Coote and senior vet. Peter Le Couilliard, and (women) Senior Kerry Petulla, vet Sylvia Thompson and super vet Sarah Corcoran.

The next JSAC race is the Graeme Le Maistre Cross Country Series event at Les Creux at 9 a.m. on Sunday 8th February.

JERSEY Spartan Athletic Club members have been busy with a couple of runs over the Christmas period, a 10km on Boxing Day and the annual Bouley Bay hill climb the following day.

Triathete Dan Halksworth won the 10km race in 36 minutes and 24 seconds with Bryce Alsford second. First woman and third overall was 15-year-old Felicity Johnson-Deeley, in 37.59 min. She became the first Jersey female runner to beat Jo Gorrod, in seven years.

University student Tom Brown celebrated his 19th birthday by managing to avoid the customary ‘bumps’ after winning the Jersey Spartan Athletic Club’s Bouley Bay hill climb on Saturday. Brown covered the course, which is just over a mile, in six minutes and ten seconds.

Toby Edwards led the 21 runners over the first part of the hill but after a fast start he misjudged his effort to drop back to place third behind Damian Maher. Jo Gorrod was back on form by being the quickest woman and placing fifth overall.
