6 October 2018 - National Road Relays - Sutton Coldfield
We came 24th!
A big thanks to all the guys that ran and those that made the trip to
support. This is our highest finish since 2010 (we came 23rd then) and 13
places higher than we managed last year.
First up was
Charlie Davis, who despite living the closest to the course was one of the
last of the team to arrive. However, he more than made up for making the
team managers worry by running a storming first leg. He once again showed
his strength by putting the team in 36th in a stacked first leg. He also
missed his uni’s weekend away trip to run so we are all very grateful for
the efforts shown. On 2nd leg was Ross Braden, who had been struck down by
illness in the days before but managed to struggle round keeping the team in
36th place.
Next up was
Will Fuller with the quickest Blackheath leg of the day, and 2nd fastest of
his leg. Fuller stormed through the field gaining 16 places in the process
in a blistering time of 17.42, which put the team in 20th place at the half
way mark. Taking over from Fuller was Rich Webb who gets the performance of
the day award. Due to illness hitting the team Rich was called up just the
day before, having been suffering himself. Regardless he stepped up for the
team, taking on the unenviable task of following on from Fuller. A time of
19.19 was his reward and he kept the team securely in the top 25 handing
over in 23rd.
Next up was
Alex Bruce-Littlewood, who has looked stronger in every race he has down
since his comeback this year, Alex ran strongly to finish in a time of 18.46
and drop just one place to put the team in 24th with one leg to go. Our
final leg runner was Ben Cockburn, who once again showed his strength
gaining as many places as he lost to put the team in 24th with a great run
of 19.36.
Also special
mention to Phil Sesemann for his silver medal and 3rd quickest leg of the
day… Even if he was wearing the wrong colours!

Over 30 Blackheath and Bromley HAC young athletes
braved the weather and long journey time to take part in the 2018 version of
the National Road Relay Championship. Sutton Park, Birmingham is a fantastic
setting for this annual event but the rain and mist took the edge of this
lovely part of Britain. Over the years the English Road Running Association
has tinkered with this event for various reasons with some good result and
others not so popular, such as both boys and girls racing simultaneously.
This can often be difficult to follow but this year's initiative was to
stream live footage of the races including a big screen near the finish and
four cameras at various points throughout the course. Unfortunately only two
cameras were working, possibly due to the poor weather conditions but it is
a great addition to these National champs. Video available to view at
http://www.vinco.elasticbeanstalk.com/fixtures/12956-erra-national-autumn-road-relays
.
First up were the U13 boys and the team battled well
to finish a respectable 22nd in a field of 66 teams. Arthur Starvis brought
the team home in 29th on the first leg handing over to Josh Healey, making
his National Championship, who managed to claw back 6 places passing to
Jamie Sears running well, taking a further place. Archie Whitehead ran a
strong leg in the B team despite pulling his calf slightly.
The U13 girls team were 24th in a field of 47.
The U15 boys trio running the three 3.8k legs were
exactly the same three from the 2017 team and they made a massive
improvement on last year's performace placing a fantastic 6th in a very
strong age group. Sam Reardon on leg 1 ran a 30 second personal best in
finishing 12th, handing to Tom Brash, who improved his best by 45 seconds
racing the team into a superb 4th. Freddy Georgiou then had the tough last
leg to take on and smashed his best time, slicing nearly 1minute 30 seconds
off and crossing the line in a very impressive 6th place. The B team also
enjoyed success and big PBs from George Shaw on leg one, Matthew Smith on
two and Alessio Tutt on three combining well to finish a creditable 30th
place, higher than the A team finished the previous year. Will Andrew set
off on leg 1 for the C team and ran a fast time on the most competitive leg.
The U15 girls had two full teams racing and did well
crossing the line in 14th and 59th.
Four U17 boys ran making up one full team that
finished 35th and were led out by Joe Georgiadis on 1 running a big PB,
Cameron Swatton on 2 also posting a great new PB and brought home by
National debutant Harry Fisher. Bailey Marks improved his best by exactly a
minute running a fast leg in the incomplete B team.
The U17 girls have a strong squad this year and had
two team finish in the top twenty, with the A team a brilliant 5th place and
the B team an impressive 17th.
Birmingham is a good 21/2 to 3hour drive (traffic
permitting) so to have so many young athletes and parents there is fantastic
and many thanks go to Paul and Laura Shaw who once again borrowed and drove
the minibus up, taking most of the boys squad with them. The day was made a
lot more comfortable having the large BBHAC tent on site and this is due to
huge efforts from PP Cordell and coach and VP Andy Frankish. Also good to
see past presidents Bill Foster and Ian Wilson there supporting the event.
Thanks also to Paul Brash for his help in team managing all the boys.

23 September 2018 - SEAA Road Relays,- Crystal Palace
Firstly a
massively congratulations to everyone that turned out. We had our joint
highest finish since 2010, our highest ‘B’ team finish for over 20 years
(online results aren’t available past then) and were one of only 3 teams
that managed to put out 4 full teams.
Going team
by team - On his Blackheath Winter debut after recently signing for us was
Josh Schofield who had made the long trip down from Leeds. He went out very
hard in a stacked first leg, running extremely well to put us in a strong
position (19th) in 18.18. Up next was Ross Braden who put in a solid leg to
push us through the field handing over to Will Fuller in 11th. Fuller then
put in the quickest Blackheath Leg of the day, running sub 18 for the 6k leg
and handing over to Charlie in 10th. Charlie gets the man of the match award
for the ‘A’ team for putting in a huge leg just a week after finishing his
track season to take another place and put us in 9th after 4 legs. On 5th
leg was Alex Bruce-Littlewood who continued his great comeback battling well
to put us 10th with a leg to go. Final leg runner Ben Cockburn proved the
team managers were right to put him in the ‘A’ team with a really strong leg
including a huge finish to hold off the Aldershot ‘B’ team and put us in
11th.

Dan Kennedy
put in a strong performance leading the ‘B’ team out, showing good early
season form before handing over to fellow team manager Chris Tuck who ran
strongly to go under 20 minutes and gain 6 places in the process. 3rd leg
runner Brewer ran well in 20.34 to only drop one place before handing to the
ever reliable Alex Gibbins who ran the second quickest ‘B’ team time and
gained another 6 places for the team. Rob Donohue then took over and showed
the great shape he is in by gaining 9 places and was a strong contender for
man of the match for the ‘B’ team but that award has to go to the huge
effort by Jon Vintner, who despite having injury problems and being dragged
on a big night out the night before, managed a big effort to put the team
40th overall (9th ‘B’ team)

There was
some storming runs in the ‘C’ team making it very hard to choose a man of
the match. Angus Harrington made a big senior debut running 20.18 for the
first leg, handing over to Fintan Parkinson who consolidated their position
well in 20.55. Tom Desborough then continued his rich vein of form in one of
his best races running a strong 20.44 and gaining 4 places, and so he gets
the man of the match award for ‘C’ team. Marco then took over running well
in 21.29 and keeping the team in 70th before handing over to two runners who
stepped up to the C team in the last days leading up to the race. Dan Marks
put in a big effort to gain another place and put the team in 69th, before
Heath Anthony on his second Blackheath race after a good performance in the
Will Boltons gained another place to put the team in 68th. (8th ‘C’ team)

Despite a
couple of unfortunate drop outs in the last week we were able to complete a
full ‘D’ team. First off was Richard Byford, who nipped round despite being
on call at work to put us in 95th after the first leg. He handed over to
Ifetobi Salako on his senior debut, who put in a strong performance to gain
3 places. Dave Beadle then took over, having only been called up the day
before ran well to gain another two places, so we were all very grateful
that he turned out at short notice. Another new member was up next as Jason
Meers gained another place to put us in 89th in 24.28. Paul Brash was on 5th
leg and continued to work through the field to put us in 84th with a leg to
go. There was a lot of strong legs but the man of the match has got to go to
Tim Ayres, who fresh from running a 1.35 half marathon in the morning once
again stepped up to make sure we had a complete team to put us in 77th
overall. (3rd ‘D’ team)

Above is Paul Ross-Davies and young Sam Wood after he finished 3rd in
Penicuik 10km
Paul was 1st M65, 2nd M60.
This has to be the toughest 10km in UK with 3km long
steep hill, in the higher Scottish borders! Both agreed it was toughest road
10km they had raced. Sam reached 5km in just 19min but rallied to 34-17!
Paul reached 5km in 24-15 but like Sam did negative split of 20-58. Young
Sam is at University of Edinburgh - should be really proud of this excellent
run!

The sunshine capital of the UK (according to Will
Ruiz) greeted the 12 runners that made the journey up to Birmingham
yesterday to finally close out the winter season.
A relatively young team with an average age of about
24 (dragged up a bit by a certain evergreen individual) acquitted themselves
very well among strong company and there was a great team atmosphere with
everyone staying around to cheer on the team.
The first leg was taken by Will Fuller who had flown
in from the US the day before and shown great commitment to make himself
available. He ran a strong first leg climbing up to 3rd by the turn on the
long leg only for his body to remind him that it was about 5 in the morning
for him, none the less he stuck to the task very well in what is always a
staked leg and brought the team home well in the fight in 20th.
A casual Georges Vacharopoulos sped across the park at
threat of being moved to a long leg and duly took over from Will. With
recent injuries not getting the better of him he put in a good leg even
bringing out his inner 400m runner to take a sprint finish up the final hill
for 29th.
Next off was team manager Ross Braden grinding out a
gutsy performance to bring us back in 31st.
The next short leg was taken by Joss Barber making his
senior debut at the national 12 stage and he put in our fastest short leg of
the day holding us in 31st.
Will Ruiz no longer the young pretender but an
established member of the relay squad now ran a strong leg pulling the team
back up to 29th.
Tom Desborough then ran a strong leg despite having
been struggling with a calf injury showing great commitment to make sure we
still had a team and keep us fighting the teams around us in 32nd.
Team manager number 2 Chris Tuck took the next long
leg fresh from Paddock Wood half marathon last week running a lonely long
leg to hold 32nd.
Marco Arcuri another youngster stepping up to a
national relay stage continued the trend coming back in 32nd.
Final team manager representation was taken by Dan
Kennedy who gained one place up to 31st but couldn't quite run fast enough
to win the battle of the team managers 7 seconds slower than Ross.
Another injury scare late on but still turning up to
put in the sort of strong consistent leg we have come to expect from him was
Alex Gibbins by this point the gaps were getting large so a lot of lonely
running for those on the course but Alex held us in 31st.
The last leg was taken by Danny Brewer who had only 6
days earlier completed Paris marathon and even with what cant be anywhere
near recovered legs was able to hold 31st.
The last leg was a complete fiasco with the race
organisers declaring a mass start after only the first 3 teams had completed
11 legs. This pretty much negated the final leg as a spectacle and due to
the early nature of this and lack of communication meant that final leg
runner Richard Byford was not aware and had to run the last leg from the
back of the field with the marshals already starting to try and pack away.
With all this confusion it cant have been an easy leg to run but he did a
strong turn to bring us home for our final position of 32nd out of the 63
completed teams.
A huge thank you from the team managers to all those
that committed to running and made themselves available it was a real shame
last year that we did not attend this event and was great to be back on this
stage with a team that shows real promise for the future and hopefully
something we can build on going forward.
That is it for the winter season now and the team
managers are really grateful for everyone that has turned out for the team
this year in all the events as well as to those who have cheered, put the
tent up or down, driven us around and everything else that goes with helping
us to continue to compete successfully across so many races.
Good luck to everyone with summer training and racing
and we will be in touch again ahead of the southern 6 stage relay on the
23rd OF SEPTEMBER.
Also watch this space for next seasons details of our
team targeted BEACON RACES and accompanying socials.
Up the Heath.
