WEDNESDAY 29th OCTOBER 2008

A small group of Waddies competed in races in three different countries over the weekend:

In Holland, congratulations to Charlotte Petkovic who travelled with the Nice Work party to take part in her first marathon in Amsterdam. Her time was 5:11:46 (Chip) and 5:20:16 (gun). Well done Charlotte -an excellent result.

Cathy Burke also ran in the Amsterdam Half Marathon in 1:59:48 (Chip) and 2:08:26(gun).



In Wales, Chairman Albert Kemp ran with his freshly operated hand in the Cardiff Half Marathon. He was 10th male V60 with times of 1:42:51 (chip) and 1:43:53 (gun).

Well done Albert!

And back in Blighty, David Jones and Peter Burfoot competed in the hilly Maidstone Half Marathon in good and cool conditions.

David Jones was 243rd with 1:45:11.
Peter Burfoot was 135th with 1:37:37.

Route du Vin, Luxembourg

For the second year there was a wadhurst Runners presence in this prestigious half marathon run along the banks of the Moselle on the Luxembourg/German border.

On a blistering hot day, the 30 or so Kenyans were obviously a tad more comfortable than a couple of pale sun-starved Waddies. The winner trotting round in an astonishing 1 hour and 10 seconds!! For anybody looking for a half marathon pb though, this is a must-do race with a flat out and back course along the river through the picturesque valley. No medal for finishers - but a bottle of the local Cremant wine somehow made up for it!

Cathy Burke finished the course in 2.10.00; Martin took his time to enjoy the views and finished in 2.23.00.
