The manxathletics.com forum

Welcome to the manxathletics.com forum.  Please share information and your views on the sport in the Isle of Man with others. 

The forum has been operating in its present form since April 2004 and I particularly welcome comments from new contributors, whether you live on or off the Isle of Man, if you have an interest in Manx athletics.

Many people have used the forum to give thanks to the officials or their own supporters when they have enjoyed an event. Contrustive criticism is always welcome as an additional means of communication, although it is not intended to replace formal communication between clubs and other bodies and their members.

If you are unable to find information about an event on any of the Manx websites, then the forum is the best place to ask for help from other people. Whilst you can email me at murray@manxathletics.com  and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, the people who have the answer to your question are likely to visit the forum so it is better that you ask it here. manxathletics.com is an independent site and I do not hold office within any of the five Manx clubs.

There are a few rules. Firstly, you should always use your real name as, apart from making people accountable for what they say, one of the objectives of the website is to make the sport friendly and appealing so please do not hide behind a nickname (anonymous entries will be deleted). Secondly, (it should go without saying) you must not insult or offend anyone. Thirdly, pesistent abuse of rules 1 and 2 will result in the forum being withdrawn.

Thanks for being sensible and I hope you continue to enjoy the forum and the sport.

Murray Lambden

Message:   Just heard from Gail. Times are not accurate but she ran 92 mins something for the half and Sarah 95. Sounds like they got wet but at least it was not too windy. Looks like they went pretty well - Gail's time will be a PB - will have to await the actual result to know by how much. I am sure Dave will post more details later.

In addition yesterday Andrew Duncan came 4th in the mile at the Cambridge Uni. Champs. He ran 4mins 37secs with a faster second half of the race. Andrew has had some calf injury issues over the winter and so has not done much speed/track work really. Hopefully this is the start of another good summer season for him building on all his PBs of last year.

Also Keith Gerrard ran for his club Newham and Essex Beagles in the AAA 12 stage road relay Champs yesterday in Birmingham. He ran a short leg in 14mins and 26 secs. His club came 4th. overall out of 60 odd teams that started. The fastest time on a short leg was a very quick 13.39 by Andy Baddeley (top UK 1500m man) 10th quickest was 14.18 which keith was not too far away from so I reckon that was a pretty good run out for him.

Well done to all.
