Junior Run Session - Monday 14th September

I'm sorry to say that tonight's session is cancelled as we do not have all necessary volunteers available to run the session safely.

Sorry for the disappointment but hope to see you next week!

Last weekend, Brad Harvey took part in the Hurly Burly 10k swim.
This starts in Barmouth and goes 6 miles up to the George III pub in Penmaenpool.
The default for this swim is to wear a wetsuit due to the water temperature and distance but swimmers can apply to do it 'skins', which means just swimsuit/trunks and hat. The event rules say that all skins swimmers must use a tow float, the bright coloured inflatable bags that fix round the waist. These make swimmers easily visible and can also be used if the swimmer has an issue and needs help staying afloat.
Brad is an experienced open water swimmer and was approved to swim it skins, as you can see from the pics he was in a small minority!
He stepped out at the finish looking fresh, having enjoyed the water and views.
Well done, Brad, what an achievement 👏 🧡

This is Deal Tri member Tina Barton.
Last week, Tina ran the Big Half marathon in London and finished 1st woman in her age group, an incredible result and so richly deserved.
She took part in the Worcester half marathon yesterday, which is a qualifying race for the British Masters team.
To achieve selection, she needed to finish top 3 - and she finished 2nd on a soggy and undulating course 🎊👏
Tina is a very modest person, and will probably hate this attention (sorry not sorry!) but we are so proud of her and the example that she sets to other runners with her self discipline and generous thoughtful advice.
Congratulations, Tina 🧡

August round up 🌞🏃🏼‍♀️🍦
It’s been a very busy few weeks, so we are running a bit behind! Here’s a brief look at how August was for Deal Tri runners.
Shorter distance:
More than 30 people ran through the eclipse in mid August – the light went a bit strange and the birds were singing their bedtime lullabies early, other than that it was business as usual!
Owen Bromley took on the challenge of the SportsShoes Podium Run The Wharf 5k. This race had only 300 places, and was open to runners who could complete it in 18:30 (men) or 20:00 (women) – this is QUICK! Owen rose to the challenge and belted out an incredible 17:26, unsurprisingly a new fastest time for him. Congratulations, Owen.
Mid to longer distance:
Sporting Events held the Saxon Shore 10k and half marathon on 16th August.
10k - Anthony Sheehan recorded one of his quickest times for a relatively new member. Alison Tong came 1st in age group. Janine Hegarty secured her 2nd fastest 10k time, she’s a graduate of one of our Couch to 5k programmes and has made fantastic progress. Gavin Joisce finished 3rd in his age group and set a new personal best time. Georgina Kerry and Beth Wild both had strong runs with great pacing.
Half marathon – Lisa Buckler was our 1st female, 3rd overall and also won 1st in her fiercely contested age group. Lee Ireland was the 1st male Dealie to finish with a new personal best time – he only started running last year and has made incredible progress. Martin Roby was our 2nd male finisher, in a personal best time, and our 2nd female finisher was Holly Rye, in her 3rd fastest half marathon time. Mike Rix was chasing Holly up a hill so hard that his Garmin alarm went off and phoned his friend 😁
Louise Ludwig has been training hard and bagged 1st place in her age group. Andy Stewart finished just a smidge over his personal best time, which over this distance, is brilliant and on such a hot day, too.
We welcomed our member number 1000, Lorraine, and had our first Virtual Half Marathon finishers Anthony Sheehan and Sue Bolton.
Next up – more recent parkrun news, the Big Half (relay and half marathon) and more!

The end of the social runs also marked the graduation of our c25k runners!
We have runners from both our January and June intakes here.
All are already carrying on their running journey, with one of the June group taking part in the Big half relay last week (and have signed up for the Big Half marathon for next year!)
Some have the Deal castle 5 miler as their next plan which is the perfect step up.
Our January grads did the Dino 10k in June.
The c25k process really works, from fear over the 8 x 1 minute runs in week 1 to signing up to races!
Big congrats to all! 👏🎉🏆🥳
Our next course will start in January, more info to follow
