| LSARRC at Chorley Inter Club |
On Saturday afternoon, 3 members of LSARRC made the trip over to Darwen for the Darwen Gala Catherine Dowdall Memorial Fell Race. Disappointingly the The Darwen Gala was cancelled but the actual race was superbly organised by Darwen Running group with great marshalling, a well flagged course, with hot dogs, beer and soft drinks for finishers and a wealth of category and spot prizes. The 4.7 mile course with 928 feet of ascent has most of the climbing in the first 2.5 miles followed by a technical muddy descent added to by the recent very wet weather. Luckily the sun shone all the way round. First home for the club in 7th place and 1st vet 40 was Darryl Bentley in 41.48 closely followed by Joanna Goorney in 8th place, 41:55 and 1st female. Debbie Cooper was 33rd, 4th female and 1st vet 40 in 49:41.

LSARRC News 13th August 2019
Last Wednesday Melanie Koth of LSARRC, 7th August, completed the capenwray sprint tri, which is a 500m open water swim, 20k bike ride and finish with a 5k run.
It's a tough little evening summer series, the swim was brutal, Koth said she felt like she was in a washing machine, receiving several kicks and being dunked. The bike route was a very rolling course with a couple of tough hills, which was a leg burner.
The run was a straight out and back run along the canal but not great for overtaking people as very narrow path and a lot of runners coming towards you, also with the rain, Koth said it got quite slippy.
Koth finished 85th overall,11th lady, 2nd v45 in a time of 1:18:34.
Our new member Catherine MacLachlan took part in the Aquathlon (500m swim and 5k run)
She finished 10th overall,4th lady and 1st v50 in a time of 54:44.
Sunday saw the city of Preston 5mile and 10mile race in Walmer Bridge. The 5mile, 1 lap race was an English championship race. Lytham had 2 runners taking part.
Mike Toft: 17th overall in a time of 26:57
Louise Cox: 49th overall, 13th lady, 1st v45 in a time of 35:36
The 10 miler was 2 laps of the course and started 10min later with 2 lytham ladies running.
Mel koth: 25th ov, 4th lady and 1st v45 in a diamond standard time 1:10:29
Michelle Chadwick : 26th ov, 5th lady in a time of 1:10:31
Koth was full of a cold and throat infection but managed to have a good run to achieve her last missing diamond standard time. It was great to have Michelle back from injury with another fab run.
In terms of parkrun news, at the Lytham Hall parkrun the first 3 spots went to Lytham runners, Alistair Leivers, Alex Tate and Ross McKelvie, respectively. Joanna Goorney was first female and Pamela Binns was 1st vf 70 plus with a time of 27:50, 8 seconds short of a pb.
