All Our Yesterdays
What were you doing, just round the corner of your mind, sixteen years ago in this race? Surprisingly enough, a few of the present Barlickers were there. Sam Wadsworth won the event. Glenn Whittaker came 7th and a young Sam Watson.(not a Barlicker, but we all know Sam) came 9th. And look at the very young Sarah Tipler taking the first junior girl prize.
As you might expect in a race which takes place in the Wharfedale valley, Ted Mason ran out a comfortable winner in time of 37 minutes.

Once again, Jimmy Craig won this race, this year knocking off over a minute from his winning time of last year. His winning time of 38:08 was the second fastest time recorded over this course. He finished with a comfortable lead over the second place runner, the new lease of life veteran runner Chris Smale. Chris finished first V50 and by implication first V40 and V45. In third place was young up and coming runner Jordan McDonald, who has just turned 17. Watch out for this young man in the future.
The women's race was won by another young up and coming talent, Elizabeth Greenwood, who is only age 16. She was followed home by Lynne Clough of Chorley AC and Lorraine Slater of Barlick.
Both the Barlick men and the Barlick women were first teams.

Chris Smale is enjoying a new lease of life at the moment. Last week, in the Blencathra race, he was not far off the V50 record. In this race, he went one better. He won the race outright in a time of 16:07.
Chris describes this as a great little race which deserves more support than it gets.
Full results follow as soon as they are available.
Thousands of keen runners basked in summer sunshine as they took part in the iconic Blaydon Race last night.
The famous road race returned on “the ninth of June” for the 34th consecutive year, covering 5.7 miles of tarmac from Collingwood Street in Newcastle City Centre to Shibdon Road playing fields in Blaydon.
About 4,000 runners took part, many representing North East running clubs, but our Mark Nutter was also there sporting his Barlick vest. He completed the 5.7 mile course in a time of 45:38, finishing 182 in his age category
The results for this race are now in the results section and contain a couple of interesting facts. One is that Chris Smale was both first V45 and first V50. Also his time was only two minutes outside the V50 record.
The second is that Barlick were first team, beating local clubs Keswick and Borrowdale.
Pete and Ben decided to have a go at this challenge and were surprised at the amount of climb that was involved. (770 metres). There were some tarmac sections on the course where they struggled, but on the rough of the fells, they came into their own and pulled back lost places. They set themselves a target of finishing under four hours, thirty, so they were well pleased to finish in 4:26:52.
How does Jimmy Craig do it. Four races in a week, two of them this weekend.
In this race there was a battle at the front of the field between Ted Mason and Sam Tosh, with Sam just managing to get home first with a 2 second margin.

Those that turned out for this race saw several talented junior runners, and potential stars of the future, all finish in the top ten. Junior runner Josh Boyle showed his class by beating the whole field, with a time of 22:22. In 5th place, again running against older and more experienced runners was Jordan McDonald of Clayton and finally in 10th place was Marcus Preedy of Rossendale. What is remarkable about Josh is that he had already run in the 5K Park Run at Burnley in the morning where, you have guessed it, he finished in first place.
Behind Josh, three Barlickers were battling for 2nd place. The honours fell to Mat Lalor who showed that he is not just a tarmac man and he was chased home by Tom Corrigan and Marc Hartley.
The ladies race was won by Claire Vincent of Clayton who had to work hard to keep her nose in front of Kelly Whiteside of Trawden. Following on from her successful run at Edenfield, Jen Hird was again third lady. The first junior lady was Hannah Newbold of Wharfedale and the second was Jenna Boothman who quite remarkably finished 15th overall in the ladies race out of 25 runners.
Barlick men were first team as were the Barlick ladies.
