Also on the same day Ian Hitching ran the Swanage Half in 1:54:24
Over the weekend quite a few Doddlers were out racing but in their own separate races
Maiden Castle Loop 10K – Ian Pollard, 44:06, 14th overall and 2nd MV50. Ignoring the torrential rain and stormy conditions I set off to Dorchester on Saturday evening to join all those other Doddlers who had said what a great run this was; for some strange reason I was first, last and only Doddler! Despite being rather blowy, the rain eased off at the start and with the thick grass and chalky subsoil of the castle, the conditions were surprisingly good. The views were hidden by rain clouds but it was a most enjoyable race none the less and I can see why it has such a reputation as a great summer evening run. Perhaps Lynda will take us up there on her Tuesday run on 11th August?
Tytherley 10K - Salisbury – Ben King, 39:17, 6th overall – 1k flat, 4k gradual up hill, 4k gradual down hill, 1k undulating. Costly (£10), mainly club runners.
New Forest 10 – Ian Hitching 1:23:24. Didn't see any other Doddlers there. Another PB for Ian!
The Stur Half – 5 Doddlers tested the route on a training run. John, Justine, Kay and Julie, and Rachel also ran it but separately!
Sunday 5th July a few races were run by the Doddlers. Lynda and Martin went down to visit David Orriss in Cornwall and ran the Launceston half marathon. Very hilly and hot. Times were: Lynda (1:39:38) and Martin (1:57:54). David and Steve (Lynda's man) attempted the 3 mile fun run but were sent the wrong way so they did not get counted.
Portland 10 saw Ian Hitching in his 100th race do a PB and was also the first Doddler home.

Tim Westerman-Loe ran the Saab Salomon 10k trail race at Moors valley country park on Thursday 2nd July. "Great race on undulating sandy single tracks and fire tracks through the park. My time was 45.16 and I was 10th overall (200 runners). Incredibly hot and humid!"
Ian Hitching also ran the race in a time of 52.37.
Sunday 28 June, Andy Goodman completed the Downlander 10 (& a bit) in 1.37.42.
The downs that we ran over are some of those above Marlborough.
"I enjoyed the route, but it was very hot. Even with my time, (about 10.5 minute per mile), I'm pretty sure I was in the top half of the those that finished." Andy

Morning
Karine
and Tara Litton raised £240 from their recent gift fair and coffee morning.
The
pair are running in this year’s London Marathon and the money will be split
between MACS and Whizz Kidz – for whom they have pledged to raise almost
£2,500.
In
addition to the marvellous £250, very generous pledges were made on the day,
swelling their funds even more!
If
you would like to sponsor Karine or Tara, their on-line sponsor forms can be
found at www.bmycharity.com/V2/taralitton and www.justgiving.com/karinelitton

Bath Half
2.14 Joan Royal
Joan ran the
whole route but it wasn’t a good experience, but she enjoyed it ‘in a
way’. It wasn’t helped by the
start being delayed by 30 minutes – an improvement on last year’s hour!
Bowleaze
Loop
1.34.22 Andy
Goodman
As
a Grizzly recovery run, I now know what bits still hurt!!
This nine mile multi-terrain route had some tarmac (but not too much), a two
mile stretch of down land with good views, a hill or two, some cliff path with
muddy stretches and some steps and about six hundred yards of beach, with a
shallow stream, too wide to jump.
A well marked route with one water station about half way.
I hope to run it again next year.

Duchy Marathon, Redruth, Cornwall
3.40.44 Ed
Lewis (53rd out of 208!!)
The day it self was horrendous. The coastal stretch had 50 mph
gales, driving rain, hail and sleet! At 20 miles I was 6 min's ahead of myself
and looking at a 3:24 marathon! My first ever marathon! But the elements won,
and I turned in a 3:40:44 and coming 53rd out of 208 !! in
my home county. I felt like a
traitor being Cornish, running a Cornish marathon, wearing a D/D vest!
Still it was an educational experience. I would add I was the only Doddler
there!

The
Terminator
1.36 Tracy Cook
1.54 Keith
Harrison
1.57 Rachel
Baker
This
was the 5th time I've stumbled around the Terminator course - an
eleven and a bit mile off-road event with some unique aspects (like the Shoe
Wash half a mile from the finish - a leap into a stream to clean the mud off
your trainers!). Being that it is the 20th year that Pewsey Vale Running
Club have organised this event they'd altered the route slightly which made it
more interesting for me and others who'd run it before, although the
traditional four climbs were still very much part of the course. These
are so steep that you really can't do anything other than walk, or scramble
up. Think of trying to run up the side of Hambledon Hill and you're on
the right lines. If you're up for this kind of challenge then I'd wholly
recommend the Terminator. There is always a great atmosphere, it is
extremely well organised and the homemade cakes are legendary!

Slay the Dragon
46.42 Andy Goodman
This should have been a 10k race, but was
shortened on the day to just under 5 miles because of ice on the roads.
We walked the first mile, on a road out of the village of Hinton St George, as
a "pack". Nearly all of this was down hill and we started the
race in a puddle, in a field at the bottom.
There was a section of nearly a mile of road
about half way round the route, but most of this was uphill, so nobody was
going too fast on the ice, or through the puddles with broken road under the
water!!
The rest of the route was off road, some
footpaths and some farm land. Most of this was covered in snow with some decent
patches of mud but not much water!! The last half mile that we ran was
uphill, back to the village and the revised finish. Originally we should
have raced for another, flat, half mile through the centre of the village to
finish at the hall, but we used this as a warm down. A nice choice of
home made cakes for all competitors when we got back.
The original course, with a downhill mile of
road at the start and a flat road finish, would have been good for the
"racers". (Not so good for Warthog)

Blackmore Vale 5.25
43.02 David Orriss (4th)
David
says he “battled the wind and cold (the weather wasn’t very nice either!!) to
take part in the BV 5.75 supporting run to the half marathon.
I
was not fit enough for the full half. It also felt like I wasn’t
fit enough for the shorter race either. But I ran with perseverance (he
came 9th – boom boom!!) and finished 4th in 43:02”
Penalties

15 Doddlers competed in what was

The weather was surprisingly pleasant given how cold it had been in the
days before. The course had its
ups and downs, but perhaps the worst bit was the last two or three miles on the
flat against the wind. Martin
