Well done to the Senior Men, who are now two places clear of the relegation zone, as a result of excellent results at Prospect Park and the previous fixture at Bournemouth, Dave Long, Rob McTaggart and Graham Robinson having competed in both.  A strong performance at the final fixture (Dibden Inclosure, 13 February) will ensure survival in Division 1 and could pull us further up the table. At long last BAC is on course for scoring Veteran Men, and Senior and Veteran Women teams for the first time for years! It would be good to see more youngsters at Dibden Inclosure, but well done to Brandon Meredith, Bridget Dence and Anya Sandell for flying the BAC flag at Reading. Bridget had a particularly good run to finish 5th after limited training this winter. Spare a thought for Jon Sharkey, who ran superbly to finish 29th, but still wasn’t in the scoring team, and for Caroline Rowley, who ran despite suffering from a cold, thus ensuring the Veteran Women maintained their 2nd aggregate position!

The next day, Sunday 17 January, Sanjai Sharma was amongst the 1600 or so competing in the Stubbington 10k.  Sanjai ran a PB of 37.13 to finish an impressive 63rd.  This has propelled Sanjai to the top of the 10k Championship table.

On 16 January, Ross Smith continued his habit of winning duathlons in the BustinSkin Dirty Devil Duathlon, an event consisting of 5k run, 20k mountain bike and 5k run, all off road in the Bovington area.  Ross was the first of 115 finishers in a total time of 1.14.19.
