Endeavour 10K - 25 April 2021
Written by Hannah
For those who are not aware during lockdown the club welcomed Matt Watson and what a fantastic addition he is to the club.
At the weekend he raced the Endeavour 10K in Middlesbrough finishing a brilliant 4th place in a time of 31:28 and also first V40.
Prior to this he had also shown great form at the Podium 5K finishing 13th in the B race in 14:37! Which saw him rank in the top 10 all time British men over 40's for 5K road, he is certainly one to watch!
Pendle Way in a Day - 4 April 2021
Written by GrahamWow - what a run from Lorraine Slater. She has certainly not spent the past 12 months of lockdowns sitting by the fire. This is a tough ultra race over forty five miles. Lorraine finished 6th overall, not just 6th in the ladies race, out of a total of 93 runners. Not only that, but she was just 3 seconds from coming home in 5th place. With a performance like that she naturally set a new course record. Over the years, we have got used to seeing some great performances from Lorraine and this has been another one to add to that long list.
Further down the field, John Boothman and Mark Storey both had a top twenty finish. Cloey Mason finished 4th lady.
In the shorter 30 mile race, Tim Pigott took the honours coming home in first place.
Pendle Relays - 13 December 2020
Written by GrahamA good day out for the Barlickers, taking first and third places in addition to first women's team and first mixed team. That is before we get to mentioning first solo team. which was team Alex.

Reservoir Dogs - 26 September 2020
Written by GrahamThis was the first Ultra for Ian Cox and he was more than happy with the result, as he came home in second place, not all that far behind the winner. Again credit must go to the organisers for putting on this event despite all the restrictions.
The race organiser wrote a report of the event and this illustrates some of the headaches involved in putting on events at this time.

The Lancashireman - 27 September 2020
Written by GrahamYou have to hand it to Trawden AC, during this epidemic, they have done their utmost to put on some racing. This race is another fine example of the great job that they are doing. Many will not be surprised to find that John Boothman turned out for this race, despite the fact that he took part in the 62 mile Hardmoors 60 last week. His legs felt tired and he found it hard work, but he is pretty consistent in this race and he finished 36 seconds quicker than the time he recorded last year.
On the road up to the windmills, he passed the only other Barlicker in this race, Mark Storey. He had his arm in his back pack straps, having taken a tumble, but he braved it out and competed the race.

Hardmoors 60 - 19 September 2020
Written by GrahamThis is a tough 62 mile race which follows the Cleveland Way down the East Coast from Guiseborough to Filey. Because of the Covid restrictions, this year runners departed in groups of six with a two minute interval between each group. This made it difficult for runners to judge how they were doing overall, but at least it enabled everyone to take part in some competitive running.
As you might have anticipated, both John Boothman and Cloey Mason were out there putting their bodies under tremendous strain, but there again, both doing well despite the lack of competitive racing for over six months. Both managed to avoid injuries and both easily managed to avoid the cut offs.

Not quite the excitement and buzz of conventional racing, but good sport and good competition nevertheless and good training too for those taking part. How many times in a race does a runner find him or herself in the middle of nowhere, with no other runners close by and no supporters around to cheer them on? In that situation, a runner has to call on that inner strength and keep pushing. - something a virtual races teaches well. Virtual races also help you understand that in conventional racing, you should ignore what other runners around you are doing and run your own race, in your own way. So virtual racing will enable our juniors to get a feel as to what are the best tactics for them, so when conventional racing returns, those getting out now will be better equipped and prepared for race day.
So, well done to the juniors who turned out for the first race in this series. They all put in some good performances and were rewarded with some good results.

Trawden Seven Trail Race - 19 July 2020
Written by GrahamAnother race put on by Trawden AC in the form of a time trial. Not like proper racing, but much better than nothing in this shut down and well done to Trawden AC for organising it. A few Barlickers turned out with six finishing in the top twenty, including Emma Pease who had a really good run to finish as first lady.
Well done too to Gemma Carson for turning out for her first race for the club.

Haworth Hobble - 14 March 2020
Written by GrahamFor some of the Barlickers not doing the relays, it was because they were doing this race. Stephen Shorrock led them home finishing in 17th place. Karl Robb paired up with Declan Bulmer from Wharfedale and they were the second pair home. John Boothman was next to finish, but he struggled over the last 10K, due to lack of miles recently, but he was still 2nd Vet 55. He was followed home by Gary Bradley
Katie Towers had a strong run finishing 121st and then came Jamie Milligan, who was paired up with Pete Beresford. At 7:04:50, it was a 39 minute PB for Jamie, a good effort considering that he only started running again six months ago. Couch to 52K in six months!
