Steve Woodward Club Christmas Handicap
14th December
Almost 40 members took part in Christmas handicap which set off from the moor in Cookham and followed the river past Bourne End before looping back. It was a little slippery underfoot but there were some great times, close finishes, and a great variety of fabulous christmas jumpers and festive outfits! First to cross the line for the seniors was Karis Hunt, the full results can be found the file below. The best senior performances were by Sarah Walker and James Dickinson who both finished in a time of 23:49, and the best junior time recorded was Louis Brown who finished in a fantastic 21:48.

Chiltern Cross Country League Milton Keynes
7th December
We had a small but impressive turn out for the most far-flung of the Chiltern Leagues in Milton Keynes, where the junior section did us proud! William Taylor-West continued his great form to finish 8th in the Div 2 Under 13 race followed by newcomer James Nickels who ran excellently to come home in 12th place (Div 2). In the Under 11 boys, Sam Hayes had his best run so far this season to finish 19th in the combined Div 1 and Div 2 race, 21 seconds ahead of Joseph Haslehurst (35th). Beth Murray improved to finish 24th in the Div 2 Under 13 girls while Holly Bird (91st) ran extremely well in the combined Div 1/Div 2 race for their age group.
Parkrun
7th December
We had a good showing at Black Park where Paddy’s beginner and improver groups ran the 5km Park Run and ALL but Paddy himself (who was pacing - his PB is 14.21!) ran PBs. First home was Tom Stevens (24.23) followed by Duncan Betts (27.44), Jamie Barber (31.26) and Kevin Farnborough (31.36). It was great to see Kate Durham back running (32.26), accompanying Suzy Malhotra (32.28) to a PB. Karen Wray also ran well (34.43).

27th November
The turnout was small for the third race in the series, with four members competing. Steve Woodward continues to dominate the race to come first, Kelli Dickinson was second, Adam Burke was third and Lisa Cooper fourth.
Berks Bucks and Oxon XC
16th November
A team of under 13 boys from the club headed to Buttersteep Forest, Bracknell to take part in the prestigious Berks, Bucks and Oxon cross country championship. This is a hotly contested event with several of the three counties’ strongest teams taking part. Freddie Yuill was first home for Cookham in 32nd place (13.44) on the tough, boggy course, followed by Sonny Lewis in 38th (14.31) and Tom Garner in 40th (15.55). Overall, the team finished a highly creditable 6th, all the more pleasing given that two of our closest rivals - Maidenhead AC and Wycombe Phoenix - failed to field three scorers. Well done boys.
Chiltern Cross Country League Oxford
9th November
We had a smaller turn out than last time due to various illnesses and injuries but still managed good scores ina number of the categories. This course was shorter but with one massive and VERY muddy hill in the middle. Our U13 Boys were stars even with several runners missing through injury. Freddie Yuill was first home in 12th place (Div 2), closely followed by Sonny Lewis in 13th. Connor Barnes came home in 16th to place theteam 5th.
There were solid runs, also, from Emily Fisher and Beth Murray (26th and 27th in U13 Girls). In the U11 Girls one of our juniors ran well to finish 77th in her first XC, followed by Holly Gibson and Caitlin Murray (82nd and 83rd).
Our senior ladies were tremendous with Sarah Walker outstanding in 25th position backed by Kelli Dickinson (60th), Karis Hunt (62nd) and Helen Philip (75th). James Cotter was our only senior man but also had a great run.

The Grim Duathlon
19th Oct
David Tindal did his first Duathlon on and picked a tough one to start with! The race consisted of a 5 km trail run, a 20 km cycle ride, and a 5 km run. The course was at a military site, with plenty of hazards to negotiate. There was a net to crawl under, mud, and a lot of water features (waist deep water!) to negotiate. The event had a real sense of challenge. He reported that the Cookham Running club 5k races prepared him for the running legs, so he could judge how fast to go through each leg. He was covered in mud, but the water features provided a good opportunities to wash it off. Recommended for any runner who appreciates a more dramatic challenge during their race.
Bridget King also entered the Elite race and as a result has been selected to represent Team GB in the Sprint Distance Duathlon European Championships in Horst next April. As we all all know, Bridget's success is very well deserved. The Cookham Super-Woman regularly manages to run to Black Park, beat everyone in the 5km and then cycle home - beating those of us in cars back to Cookham! We have long been amazed by her performances and it is so fantastic that her talent and perseverance have been acknowledged in this way. Well done Bridget - we are very proud of you!

Chiltern Cross Country League, Watford
19th Oct
We had a good turn out on this hilly course which looped around the park - the senior women ran approximately 6.5K on one loop through the woods to include two big hills, the men's 10k had them toil up them twice. The field was extremely strong, with the winners posting some incredibly fast times, our results are very impressive for our first outing. Each fixture is a Mob Match with divisions 1 and 2 running together in one big race. As it’s our first season, we are in Div 2 along with 19 other clubs. Point scores are totted up throughout the season for the teams and there is an overall winner at the end. All of this makes our junior results astounding. Thanks to tremendous packing, our Under 13 boys were a tremendous 2nd place in Div 2 - just 7 points behind top club Bracknell AC. In the U11 girls race, there were great runs by everybody with a team placing of 3rd in Div 2 and even though our U13 Girls were missing their 3rd scorer for the team, their points tally placed them 6th team in Division 2. Well done Jess and Emily - I know how nervous you were!
In the U11 Boys race we were also missing 3 boys through injury and other sports commitments, yet Sam and Joseph’s performances placed them 2nd team in Div 2 even without a 3rd team member. Just imagine where you will finish next time, boys!
I have put the Div 2 position along with the overall placing from each race in brackets and the time.

Parkrun
12th Oct
27 CRC runners turned out on a beautiful, sunny, autumn morning at Black Park for a club Parkrun and got some great results. The runners included most of the Junior section, the Couch to 5k Beginners group, the Improvers group and the Seniors. The Beginners and Improvers showed what fantastic progress they have made through their courses to complete their 5k runs in some very impressive times. Some of our seniors, like Bridget King who came in at 21:05 as 1st woman, were going for times and others like Rachel Harding and Kelli Dickinson were pacing our less experienced runners. Well done everyone!

8th Oct
The venue for our second club handicap was Dorney Lake which has no lighting. Headtorches did the job and Steve Woodward blazed his own trail to win for a second time in a handicap time of 34:42, which meant his 5k time of 25:42 was an improvement on last time. Second was Sarah Watson at 35.46 (H7, 28.46), 3rd Dave Tindal 35.58 (H11, 24.58), 4th Sue Gauld 36.21 (H9, 27.21), 5th Ed Wells-Cole 36.29 (H11, 25.29), 6th Carol Montgomery 37.01 (H10, 27.01), 7th Kelli Dickinson 37.28 (H9, 28.28) and 8th Adam Burke 37.50 (H17, 20.50).

Swallowfield Races - 5k, 10k, Duathlon
22nd Sept
The club was represented at every distance in these races in rural Berkshire. The 5k was run on grass in the grounds of the impressive Swallowfield Hall. The 10k was run on local roads (described as 'gently undulating' = lots of small hills and one big one!), sharing a route with the running sections of the Duathlon which broke off at the 7k mark to include an 18k bike ride, and rejoined for the final 3k. Performance of the day went to ladies' captain Sue Gauld who smashed her personal best (PB) by over 2 minutes with a time of 25:11 in the 5km. It's hard to imagine that Sue took up running for the first time only 3 years ago. She is now recording times that are highly respectable for her age group at club level. Well done Sue - you are an inspiration! Lisa Fletcher is getting back into form with a 35:53 5km and Kelli Dickinson is returning from illness but had a great run to record a new PB of 61:07 in the 10k. Our men's captain, Gerald Cooper, put in a great performance to complete the duathlon in 1:39:59.

With Gerald Cooper officiating the runners all set off at their allocated handicap time, and the first to cross the finish line was Steve Woodward in a handicap time of 32.44, his 6 minute handicap meaning he took 26.44 to complete the distance. Next was Joy Strzelecki at 34.37 which gives her a new PB of 32.37. Anna Slater passed most of the field from her 14 minute handicap start to come third at 34.41 minutes giving her an amazing race time of 20.41. Rachel Brennan came 4th at 34.47 (H8, 26.47), Tina Scanlon 5th at 34.50 (H6, 28.50), Fiona Coulter 6th 36.04 (H3, 33.04), Sue Gauld 7th at 36.11 (H8, 28.11), Kelli Dickinson 8th 37.41 (H9, 28.41), Satish Lawson 9th 37.48 (H16, 21.48), Adam Burke 10th 37.50 (H18, 19.50) and Kate Durham 11th 38.54 (H9, 29.54).
