I would have had this post up earlier, but I was waiting for some of the Renwick girls teams to finish.

First for the relay important stuff: RP Relay teams, in order:

1. Dromore RP Church – 3:21:43 (51st out of 1,638):

John looking in pain

Crossing the finish line

Championes!

I can’t actually believe there are no photos of me running like. Not Happy. But an impressive performance from the debutants.

2. Carrick Reformed Presbyterian Church – 3:22:35 (55th)

Gavin Runwell

3. PJ’s Heroes – 3:25:57 (69th)

Steve looks like he’s just got abuse from the crowd and he’s about to thump someone a la ‘two jags’ Prescott.

He lost a leg during the race, but bravely kept going

Phil annoyed at being burned by a 45 year old minister

4. Run Fat Girl Run – 4:41:43 (1364th)

Rachel going past a guy walking

Catherine

Daphers steaming home

5. Go for Ronwick – 4:45:02 (1402nd)
Or “What happens when you try and tell the marathon people on the phone that you want your team to be called Renwick”

Sarah

By a process of elimination, this must be Charlotte

“And I would walk 500 miles…”

“…And I would walk 500 more”

(but of course it would be narrow-minded and xenophobic to mock foreigners so I’ll stop :-P)

Full marathon: (present and future RPs)

1. Tim the EP – 3:17:11 (113th out of 1547)

Tim getting past the commoners

Slower than last year though!

2. Rev. Robert Robb – 3:47:25 (402nd – he was pacing himself) (official website – run666.org)

He won’t be laughing as much these days…

David Robb and a naked guy

Bob Robb waves goodbye to sanity

Father and son

3. Samuel McCollum – 4:03:51 (641st)

4. Samuel Morrison – 5:57:25 (1510th)

5. Philip Morrison and Matthew Curry – 6:09:02 (1520th)

The after-party

Steelo defies his lifetime ban to join in the cricket following the h’s and v’s

A lot of the boys didn’t have much room for the BBQ after going a bit mad in Pizza Hut earlier

Gavin Climbwell

The ‘DMFWH’ scandal one week, scaling walls the next – dubious behaviour from someone about to begin their second spell at RTC :-P

That pole’s the only thing Joel’s been able to hold on to all season…

What a day!
