I suppose after all the mild weather over the last two weeks it was inevitable that for the opening race of the Withernsea Harriers Handicap League the race entrants would be met with a strong, cold, north-westerly wind.
A slightly disappointing field assembled to start the 8th season of the Handicap League. This was due to the unfortunate run of illness and injury which has run rife through the club.
It is always difficult to judge people's handicaps for the first race because it is three months since the last handicap race has been run. This race usually indicates those runners who have trained well over the winter period; this year proved to be no exception.
The winner over the 5.9 mile course was Derek Parker who finished 19 seconds under his handicap time. A good effort in the tough, windy conditions - Handicap Committee please note!
Second place was Peter Hadgraft who ran within three seconds of his handicap (excellent judgment from the hadicap committee).In third place was Angie Swift with Andy Watson, on his debut, finishing fourth. Mark Nurse was fifth and Kevin Anholm finished a creditable sixth after his recent illness.
After the race the draw for the Knockout cup was made in The Plough Inn; the highlights of the first round draw were Terry Hirst versus Peter Hadgraft and Mark Nurse versus Kevin Anholm.
The next race is on Sunday 6 March 2005, 11.00am at the Plough Inn, Hollym over the 5.8 mile course; all welcome.

It was with some relief for all competitors who arrived to run Race N°2 in the Withernsea Harriers Handicap League that the snow and the ice-cold wind had given way to sunshine and only a stiff breeze.
The much improved conditions suited Sue Wiles, who, on her debut in the competition, cruised to an impressive win. Angie Swift beat Paul Allison in a sprint finish to clinch second place.
Fourth was Terry Hirst, who was making a welcome return to action after suffering from shin splints. Peter Hadgraft finished a credible fifth after only one-hour’s sleep the night before. Peter’s strong finish just held off Mark Nurse who had to accept a sixth-place finish.
It is early days but after two races, Angie Swift is the early league leader with 13 points; Derek Parker and Peter Hadgraft are close behind with 9 points.

There has been an unusually high number of injuries and illness, which has run rife through the club during the last 2 months. So it was good to see a lot of the members back in action ready to run in the third race of the Withernsea Harriers Handicap League.
The winner was Andrew Falkingham who was making his race debut and completed the 5.8 mile course in 53 minutes 40 seconds. Andrew only enquired about the race the previous night and enjoyed his first outing with us. So anyone reading this and fancies a go please come along. (More details ring Mark Nurse 613305).
The next 2 finishers where the two fastest men in the field. Second was Mark Nurse who ran a minute under his handicap time, with Andrew Watson running a fast time of 36 minutes 38 seconds finishing third.
Fourth was double league champion Ian Battye, with Terry Hirst
that well known talker in fifth place. If Terry spent less
time talking and put more effort into running who knows what
he might achieve this season. Another good talker, Ian Robinson
finished sixth, although Ian spends most of his time making
up stories of his alleged injuries to the Handicap Commitee.
Mark Nurse is the new league leader after 3 races, 1 point ahead of Angie Swift, but we are only a quarter of the way through the season.

A record field assembled last Thursday at The Plough Inn for the first evening run, which was the fourth in the twelve race series.
The winner over the four mile course was Andrew Falkingham. This is Andrew's second appearance and both have resulted in victories. However Andrew should take note that he has now completed his qualifying runs and so can now earn league points from the next race. This crucial point has been noted by The Handicap Committee.
In second place, thanks to a liberal use of Liam's bike, was Ian Robinson. This was the first race for over a year that he wasn't first in the queue to complain about his handicap time. In third place making her race debut was Debbie Catt. Debbie was in panic over her handicap time of 43 minutes, yet she ran the course in 40 minutes 48 seconds. This also has been noted by The Handicap Committee.
In fourth place making a welcome return from her injury problems was Tina Anholm. Fifth place went to Sue Wiles with Derek Parker sixth.
A special mention to Tracy Battye who ran four miles for the first time and ran an excellent time of 42 minutes 24 seconds. Even more remarkably, she finished well ahead of our two time league champion Ian Battye, who once again finished well down the field.
The latest league table after four races has Angela Swift once again holding top spot, but as we are only 1/3rd of the way through the season, there is a long way to go.
The next race is on Thursday 5th May at The Plough Inn, Hollym. The distance is 5.5 miles and it starts at 7.15pm. As ever everyone welcome.
Finally, congratulations to Terry Hirst who ran his first ever London marathon in 4 hours 14 minutes and he allegedly only stopped twice for a chat.

There was a good turnout last Thursday for the fifth race of the Withernsea Harriers Handicap. The course measures 5.6 miles and runs through Hollym village along the old railway track into Withernsea, down along the promenade and back to the Plough Inn via Holmpton Road.
The winner was Derek Parker, who managed to edge out Angie Swift into second place. Derek's handicap time gave him a 15-second start over his sister and throughout the whole race that 15-second gap never altered.
In third place was Andrew Falkingham who continues to finish at the front end of the field. Andy Watson ran a good race time of 35 minutes to finish fourth with Ian Battye in fifth place and Ian Robinson sixth.
Derek and Angie's first and second place in the race means that they both head the league table after five races. Rather worrying for the rest of the competitors; they are seven points clear of third place, but there is still a long way to go.
Derek completed a fine night's work by knocking the defending champion Ian Battye out of the Knockout Cup. Other first round winners were Angie Swift and Andrew Falkingham.

It was the best weather we have had this season last Thursday, for the sixth race of the Withernsea Harriers twelve-race series. The distance was 10k and the race proved to be a very exciting and close finish.
With 1/2 mile to go there were three runers competing for first place. The eventual winner was Mark Nurse, whose strong finish just held off Jeff Copping into second place, with Ian Battye close behind in third place.
Fourth was Andy Watson, who followed up his excellent time of 37 minutes 10 seconds in the Beverley 10k with another good performance in this race. Next was Angie Swift, who despite being hampered by a foot injury, hung in to finish fifth (her brother, please take note). Andrew Falkingham continued his record of scoring points in every race by finishing sixth. We are now halfway through the season and we have joint leaders at the top of the table.
Angie Swift with her determined performance scored 2 points to stay at the top of the table, but she is now joined by Mark Nurse after his second win of the season. But as Ian Battye will remind both of them, no awards are given out at this stage of the season. There is still along way to go.

Another good field assembled for the seventh race of the Withernsea Harriers twelve-race series. The weather was warm with a southwesterly wind blowing into the faces of the runners as they headed back to the finish at The Plough Inn.
The winner was Patrick Eudas who was originally out for a gentle run, until some Withernsea Harriers collared him. They persuaded him to enter the race, which after a sprint finish he ended up winning. We hope to see you more often, Patrick.
In second place and making a welcome return was Liam Dowling. Liam has had a lot of injury problems this season, which he points out is nothing to do with his age!!! However he had lost none of his skills in receiving a good handicap. He insisted on a time of 40 minutes and then placed a bet with Ian Robinson on who would finish first. He then ran one and a half minutes under his time, which included a rest at around three and a half miles to see if Ian was catching him. Who said the Irish aren't good at gamesmanship!!!
Third was two-time defending league champion, Ian Battye, who as in the last two seasons, is starting to move up the league table. Fourth was Terry Hirst, who for the first time this season actually ran a race without any unscheduled stops behind any hedges!!! Fifth was Debbie Catt, who put in another excellent performance, with Angie Swift close behind in sixth place.
Most books on running will give you sound advice on what to eat before a race. Angie Swift follows her own unique schedule. This usually involves a good portion of apple pie and custard. If the race is important, she may change this to apple crumble and custard. However, maybe Angie has found the secret. She is currently three points clear at the top of the table and last sunday was the first Withernsea Harrier home in the Humber Bridge half marathon. A fabulous performance in what has been described as "the race from hell" because of the incredibly hot conditions.

Last Thursday the 8th race of The Withernsea Harriers Handicap League, took place over a distance of 5.6 miles. We are fast approaching the business end of the season, where every point won could have a crucial bearing to who will be this year’s champion. Only one of the top five in the league scored any points as the pressure begins to mount.
The winner was Liam Dowling who continues his recovery from his back problems.
In second place was Gordon Harker with Derek Parker third. Derek picked up 4 points and so moves to second in the table, 1 point behind the leader Angela Swift.

There are only 4 races left in the Withernsea Harriers Handicap
League, so every point gained could have a crucial bearing
on who will be this year’s champion.
Last Thursday was the 9th race of the 12 race series. There
was a smaller than usual field which assembled to run the
5 mile course. The top 3 runners in the table started the
race separated by only 3 points. With 6th place scoring a
point, they knew before setting off, that a good performance
in this race could have a decisive bearing on who will be
this year’s champion.
As it turned out, this didn’t happen. This was mainly due to some excellent handicapping by “The Committee” which resulted in an excellent, closely fought race.
The winner was Kevin Anholm who just managed to beat Jeff Copping in a sprint finish across the line. Just behind them was Ian Robinson, who just held off Mark Nurse, who out sprinted Andy Watson (again!). Angie Swift just managed to beat Terry Hirst into that last scoring position. The whole field was only separated by 1.1/2 minutes at the finish, which as I said was excellent handicapping by “The Committee”.
The result of the race means that with 3 races to go, Angie Swift is still top by 1 point from Mark Nurse, who is 1 point ahead of Derek Parker. It promises to be an exciting finish to the season.
The knockout cup has reached the semi final stage and in the first semi final, Derek Parker beat the Club Champion Sue Wiles, in a closely fought out match. The second semi final is between Angie Swift and Terry Hirst which promises to be a very intriguing encounter.
This match will take place on Thursday,8th September, when the 10th race of the series will take place.

As the well known chart hit says “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. However with ¼ of the season to go, this statement seems lost on the leading runners who are challenging to be this season’s champion.
Before last Thursday’s race, there were 6 runners who had a realistic shot at becoming this year’s champion. A good performance from one of these competitors over the 4 mile course, could prove decisive when the prizes are handed out on October 9th. However after the final runner had staggered over the finish line, none of the leading pack had grasped the initiative.
The Championship leader, Angie Swift who has led from the front all season, finished within 23 seconds of her handicap time. A good effort, but she only managed 6th place, although this was good enough to earn her 1 Championship point. Angie must have feared the worst as she crossed the finish line. As it turned out, she actually increased her lead at the top of the table, as none of her main challengers made any impression on her slender lead.
Mark Nurse who was in second in the table didn’t run, due to a calf injury picked up at the Chesterfield 10 mile race the previous Sunday. Derek Parker, 3rd in the league, found the pressure too much and finished well down the field and so failed to score any points. Fourth place was Ian Battye, the double defending title holder, but he enjoyed himself too much in America and so finished last. In 5th place, Andy Watson was strangely off the pace and so he didn’t score any points, but 6th place Kevin Anholm did manage to finish in 5th place and so picked up 2 championship points.
For the record the winner was Gordon Harker who just finished ahead of Matt Anholm and Andy Griffiths.
In the other cup semi-final, Terry Hirst just edged out Angie Swift where he will play Derek Parker in the 2 race final.
So it’s all to play for on the final day, with the top 9 runners separated by 12 points. With 2 races on the last day, there are 18 points available, so it promises to be an exciting day. The “War on the Shore is on Sunday 9th October. There will be 2 races, the first race at 11.00am which is 2 miles and the final race is 4 miles, which will start at approx. 11.45am. Anyone can enter one or both races, so if you fancy a go, come along to The Plough Inn, Hollym.
Footnote: 2 of our brave Harriers ran the Nottingham Marathon last Sunday. Andy Griffiths improved on his London time by 25 minutes to record a time of 3 hours 55 minutes, whilst Kevin Anholm battled his way round in 4 hours 34 minutes. Well done to both our Harriers.
