Some more great running to report on from our final weekend of racing of the YVTT Club Championship’s season.  There were Junior Parkrun’s, and Wistow 10k, with Vikings performing well in both.

Early on Sunday morning, Alana Reveley was out to try and overhaul the 3 point lead in front of her in the Junior Run Championship.  Alana was on a mission, and not only made up that 3 point gap, but did it in style.  Finishing in 2nd place, and 1st female competitor over the line, in a time of 00:09:34, Alana scored a huge 87.32 points in the championship.  That score was her highest of the year so far, and won her the Junior Run Championship right at the end.  Well done Alana, some great racing towards the end of the season.

A huge mention to Martha Moore is more than due here, who has led the Junior Run Championship for the majority of the season, putting in some incredible performances.  It was an exciting end to the year, and with so many amazing runs over the course of this season, Martha will be well in contention again next season.  You should be very proud Martha, well done!

In the senior Run Championship, Shaun Sumner had all but wrapped up the championship the day before at Goole Parkrun, with only a superhuman performance capable of catching him on Sunday.  Shaun followed up on his excellent running form, finishing Wistow 10k in 39th place, in a time of 00:42:18.  Another great run Shaun, well done.  A couple of very impressive performances at the end of the season definitely deserved taking the title!

Long time Run Championship leader Mark Wilson was also running, targeting a charge back up the Run Championship standings.  Mark put in an incredibly strong run, finishing in 59th place in a time of 00:45:24.  This was unfortunately not enough to move back up the standings, but displayed another solid run performance readying up for next seasons competition.  Well done Mark, some great running performances this season!

One final missed result for the season.  At the Great North Run back in September, Helen Dews also took to the popular half marathon event.  Putting in a very solid performance, Helen finished the race in 02:43:08, adding some great points to her Escrick 10k run from early in the season.  Well done Helen!

The first runners of the weekend were out today, racing at both Goole and York Parkrun.   Susie Foster, Clare Dunham, Peter Foster, Shaun Sumner and Dave Burrows all raced at Goole, with valuable Run Championship points up for grabs.  At York, Charlotte Moore and Martha Moore both ran, looking for some end of season points in the Junior Run Championship.

Some brilliant results to report from the team at Goole, between  them achieving PB’s, Age Group wins, and top 10 finishes.

Susie Foster, Clare Dunham, and Peter Foster all achieved new PB’s, finishing their races in 00:31:05, 00:34:15 and 00:30:24 respectively.

Shaun Sumner and Dave Burrows were both chasing Run Championship points, and both came home with strong finishes.  Shaun finished 5th in the race in 00:19:57, and Dave Burrows 8th in 00:20:58.

Both results topped their age groups, and scored some significant points in the Run Championship.  Shaun scored a huge 98.25 points, effectively looking to hand him the Run Championship with a commanding lead, now in 1st place.  Dave Burrows also improved on his 3rd best score, with 93.48 points in the championship, moving him into 2nd place, only 1.44 points ahead of Mark Wilson.

At York Parkrun, Martha Moore was looking to improve on her Junior Run Championship lead.  Both Martha and Charlotte put in impressive performances during the 5km race, finishing in 00:29:52 and 00:29:53 respectively.  This was unfortunately not enough to improve Martha’s Junior Run Championship score, but she still holds a very solid lead at the top of the standings.

Great running everybody, well done!  One more day to go!!

Another quiet weekend for the Vikings, with a handful of runners trying to rack up some late season points.  Alana Reveley, Martha Moore and Dave Burrows were all running Parkruns over the course of Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday, Dave Burrows ran an incredibly windy York Parkrun, trying to chase rack up some late season Run Championship points.  Dave finished the race in 68th place from 611 runners, in a time of 00:21:03.  This was enough to improve his score to 2nd place overall in the Run Championship, 8.85 points behind the lead held by Mark Wilson, with 1 weekend left to go.

The Junior Run Championship is building to a very exciting conclusion.  The 2 leaders, Martha Moore and Alana Reveley both ran in Junior Parkruns on Sunday, with end of season championship points well in their targets.  The weather hadn’t got any better for their Sunday runs, making for very challenging conditions.

Alana Reveley ran the Nostell Junior Parkrun, putting in a brilliant performance, finishing in 5th overall from 47 runners, in 00:09:49.  This scored her a huge 83.43 points on the Junior Run Championship, beating her previous 3rd best score of 80 points, and moved her ever closer to Martha Moore at the top of the leaderboard.

In response, Martha also put in a great performance on Sunday at York Junior Parkrun.  Finishing in 10th place overall from 36 runners, in a time of 00:10:31, Martha scored 81.32 points in the Junior Run Championship, beating her previous 3rd best score of 79.15.

With 1 weekend of running to go in the Run Championships, who knows what will happen in the standings!  Alana Reveley put in a brilliant performance to cut Martha Moore’s lead this weekend from 4.4 points to 3.14 points, but Martha is still putting in some impressive running.

Will Alana catch Martha, or will Martha hold on?  Will any other runners pop up with some last minute points?  It’s exciting stuff!!

The season is well and truly drawing ever closer to completion, with the numbers of competing Vikings getting smaller.  Triathlon competition appears to have now finished, and focus is on the Run Championships, as Parkrun’s are providing some competitive focus!

Sarah Weston and Alana Reveley were the only Vikings competing during the weekend, both taking part in Parkrun events.

On Saturday, Sarah took part in Goole Parkrun, along with 156 other runners.  Sarah finished in a great time of 00:22:59, finishing in 31st place overall.  Building off the end of season triathlon age group win, Sarah completed this race as the 1st female over the line.  Well done Sarah!

Also on Saturday, Alana took place in the Pontefract Parkrun.  Competing against 366 other entrants, Alana finished the race in a brilliant 125th place, in a time of 00:26:57.  That result also placed her as the 1st placed competitor in her age group.  Great running Alana, well done!

On Sunday, Alana ran again, this time in the Markeaton Junior Parkrun.  In a field of 85 runners, Alana placed 26th in a time of 00:10:09.  These two weekend results crept Alana ever closer to the Junior Run Championship lead held by Martha Moore, with only 4 points now separating the two!

It is going to be an exciting end to both Senior and Junior Run Championships, with two weekend’s worth of competitions left!

With a lack of multi sport events to enter towards the back end of the season, YVTT were getting their race fixes from running instead, with Vikings taking part in Yorkshire Marathon, York 10 Mile, and the usual weekend parkruns.

Alana Reveley was busy again making her way up the Junior Run Championship standings, clocking up some more points in pursuit of that 1st position.  On Saturday, Alana took part in Pontefract Parkrun, finishing the race in a very impressive 00:29:33.

Keeping going with the run successes, Alana was running again on Sunday in Nostell Junior Parkrun, clocking an even more impressive time of 00:09:49.  This was Alana’s big score of the weekend, making up 81.53 points from this event, and creeping ever closer to Martha Moore’s lead at the top of the Championship.  Well done Alana!

Shaun Sumner was also competing in Parkrun on Saturday, this time in Goole.  Shaun put in a great time of 00:20:17, finishing in 6th place, and scoring some big points in the Run Championship, moving him up to 2nd place.

On Sunday, Lorna Watson and Tim Wright both took part in the Yorkshire 10 Mile event.  Popular as ever, the event attracted 3178 competitors running through the streets of York.  Lorna and Tim finished the 10 mile race in 02:05:53 and 01:36:06 respectively.  Great running both, well done!

Also on Sunday, Dave Burrows took on the Yorkshire Marathon, along with 4142 other runners, in a very well run event.  Dave finished the race in 04:13:04.

Aside from the running, there was one change from last week’s reporting Swim Championship standings.  The result posted for Lorna Watson was incorrect, and unfortunately wasn’t eligible for scoring.  This means a huge gain for Heather Blakey, who now tops the Swim Championship standings with 3 weeks left to go!

What a way to end the season!  Goole Triathlon always proves a popular event with YVTT, and this season was no different.  What was different this season were 3 of our Vikings ladies putting in some incredible performances, bringing home some season ending trophies!  More on that later…

First, a handful of missed results.  On 16th September Alana Reveley ran Haigh Woodland Parkrun, finishing the race with a fantastic finish time of 00:30:24.

Haigh Woodland Parkrun began Alana’s steady move up the Junior Run Championship standings, with some solid championship points.  However, those points were nothing to those in comparison to those she racked up on 1st October, when she ran the Nostell Junior Parkrun, finishing the race in 00:10:25, and notching up 80.53 championship points in the process.  Alana now sits in 2nd place, just behind Martha Moore, with 3 weeks of running left to go!  Brilliant results Alana, well done!

Earlier in the season, Beth Grogan ran Walkington 10k, posting her 3rd run of the season in the progress.  Beth finished the race in a very impressive 00:45:37.  Well done Beth!

Over the weekend of 23rd/24th September, #lornasladies took on the Amphibian Swim, completing the 1km and 3km distances.  Lorna Watson, Helen Dews, Kath Cooke, Susie Foster, Sarah Weston all took on the 3km race, and Heather Blakey took part in the 1km race.  Their results were as follows:

• Lorna Watson – 00:55:33
• Helen Dews – 01:09:30
• Kath Cooke – 01:17:10
• Susie Foster – 01:28:23
• Sarah Weston – 01;28:33
• Heather Blakey – 00:24:20

6 new entrants to the Swim Championship all in one weekend, and a major shake up of the standings!  Great swimming ladies, well done!

And so to what is likely to be the last multi sport event of the season, Goole Sprint Triathlon.  Sunday 1st October saw 12 Vikings take part in the last club event of the season, all scoring some bonus points in the process.

Anne Lewis, Helen Dews, Kath Cooke, Susie Foster, Toni Chidlow, Charlotte Moore, Sarah Weston, Beth Grogan, Kenton Robbins, Mark Wilson, Shaun Sumner, and Dave Burrows all took part in the event.  The results were as follows:

• Dave Burrows – 01:04:27
• Shaun Sumner – 01:04:28
• Mark Wilson – 01:05:28
• Sarah Weston – 01:06:20
• Beth Grogan – 01:08:10
• Kenton Robbins – 01:13:07
• Charlotte Moore – 01:13:12
• Toni Chidlow – 01:20:55

• Helen Dews – 01:27:16
• Anne Lewis – 01:30:05

We have 4 special mentions to make from the weekend’s race.  3 of those you can guess, but the 4th special mention goes to Toni Chidlow, who completed her first triathlon at Goole, and put in a fantastic performance in the process.  First triathlon of many Toni I’m sure, well done!

Last, but certainly not least, a huge well done to Anne Lewis, Sarah Weston, and Beth Grogan, who all won their age categories on Sunday.  Amazing racing ladies, these kind of results make all your hard work at the club worthwhile!  GB colours should be firmly within your sights for next season!!

That could very well be our last multi sport action for the season, meaning our Club Champions could now be decided.  However, there are still 4 weekends of racing left to go, so there may very well be some twists and turns to come.

What is certain, is there will very likely be some more championship points to be scored in our Run Championships, with many eying up some end of season races.  You have a few weekends left of racing left Vikings, get those points racked up!
