Wallsend's newest world champion, Harry Coates, placed an excellent fifth, in the "N" Scot - "Mud 'n' Mayhem" Tri- Series Challenge, held at Northampton today.
After meandering off-course in last Tuesday's Grand Prix, the engineering graduate set off in customarily determined fashion, for his 1500 metre swim. Coates' swimming discipline has never been regarded as his forte, however today's "fourth out-of-the-water" spot, is acknowledged as his best swim yet.......
Julie and David would like to invite all Wallsend Harriers to celebrate the fab news of their engagement...Woo hoo...Party Time!
The party will start at 7pm (and carry on till late....!) on 9th July at The Killingworth Social Club. Get the date in your diary - Julie and David are looking forward to seeing you there!
Ian Turrell a very good pilates instructor who used to do classes for me at Sage runs the following classes within the local area: The classes will be starting from Monday
Monday's at the Edward Eccles church hall, top of the main road in Earsdon, 7.30pm to 8.15pm, £5 per class or 5 for £20
Tuesdays at St John’s Church hall, Kingston Park, 7-8pm, £4 per class or 5 for £15
Thursdays at the Shiremoor Centre, Earsdon road, 7-8pm, £4 per class or 5 for £15
Bookings don't run consecutively so can be used any time, and each class is mixed ability. I know that some of the Harriers are interested in becoming more flexible and improving there core stability, so they may fancy giving a class ago. Kathryn Robertson also speaks highly of Ian and attends his classes.
After a great week for the club...including... our World Champion in the news, one of our youngest runners having the run of his life, two PB's at the Clive Cookson..you both know who you are!.. a new women's 1500m club record set, another triumpant triathlon performance AND a marriage proposal (woo hoo!)... the Wallsend's Website Words of Wisdom look forward to the week ahead......the first of the Summer Grand Prix on Tuesday to the ultimate running challenge..the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday...All Wallsend Athletes have a great week with the following Words of Wisdom (thanks to resident reporter Lee 'Slim Jim' Morgan) resonating in your head....
"Running is like a big question mark that is there each and every day. It asks you 'are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today'?" Peter Maher
Brilliant Becki!
Massive congratulations to Becki Newman who today had an outstanding race coming 2nd (Snr Woman) in the Alnwick Triathlon. Becki, who is an accomplished swimmer, is improving week by week with her running shown today with a very impressive 20.06 min 5k run! Outstanding performance! As Sarah Cawthorn has pointed out...Mick and Chrys may be the 'Posh & Becks' of Wallsend...but Harry and Becki are the 'Posh & Becks' of Triathlon!
Well done Becki from all your friends at Wallsend - the future looks very exciting...watch this space!
