Weekly Round up for Ripley Running Club –
WC 13th September 2020
This past week…
Saw a well attended Tuesday night social session. Group 1 tackled 7 miles from South Wingfield led by Mick Wareham. Joined by Ian Warton-Woods, Joanne Howett, Esther Broughton, Nick Hilton and Jo Gilliver.
Group 1
Group 2 started and finished strategically from the Dog Inn at Pentrich. Led by Ian Hawley and attended by Luke Beresford, Richard West, Ryan Orton, Tim Jaques and Danny Elliott. Beers enjoyed by all afterwards.
Group 3 started at Ripley leisure centre for West Avenue reps. Led by Jo Ingram and Tanya Heaslip. Attended by Zoe Naylor and Lisa Smith.
I would just like to thank members of the committee for making sure that these runs can go ahead during the Covid-19 pandemic. I would also like to say how brilliant it is to see the groups well attended. It does feel good to have a dose of normality on a weekly basis.

Matt Baker tackled the Darley Moor Duathlon in preparation for the Outlaw X Triathlon next weekend. Matt came 30th overall and 8th in his age group. A great achievement taking on, in his own words, “a very fast field”.
Matt Baker – Pure grit!
Claire Durose took on the Carsington 7+ (7.5 miles), finishing in a time of 1 hour 7 minutes. Well done Claire.
Kat Fletcher was out and about getting the last long run in before Marathon taper time. 21.15 miles completed for a Saturday morning. Well done Kat and good luck with the Marathon.
