San Domenico members run and become!

Well done to all who turned out for the club enabling us to enter 5 teams for the Self Transcendence 3 x 1 mile relays in Bute Park, Blackweir. A good evening was had by all at the event organised by Run and Become of Cardiff.

Sally, Vicky and Angela were 1st ladies team, Steve, Ed and Jerome finished 3rd overall, Angela, Dominic and Steve were 1st mixed team. Plus some great times by all our members, two in particular being Mark Ryan running 7:26 and new member Vicky debuting with a 6:31.

Only one downside to the evening - the blue vests outweighed the white vests 12 to 4, don't people realise that the 'white ones' are faster :-)

New club milestones in 2008

Some say he races too often, some say he swims 5K in the Taff after every ParkRun!   We only know him as 'The Saint!'

Congratulations to Dominic for setting two new club records in 2008.  Firstly he achieved 100 races between spring 2007 and summer 2008. Secondly, he has run 98 races in 2008!

This includes road, multi-terrain, cross-country and Parkrun 5K events. However, I think the total should include the Club Handicap series which means a total of 106 races in 2008.

Well done Dominic!
