KILBARCHAN FARE POORLY IN THE CSSAL LEAGUE OPENING MATCH
The CSSAL results from 12th May at Wishaw have emerged. There was a
very tight spread of results, but unfortunately, Kilbarchan finished
8th.
However this disguises some excellent performances on the day. In
their age categories, the senior men were 2nd, the Masters, Senior
and U17 Women were all 3rd, but the other age groups were not able
to sustain this level unfortunately.
Individually the standout performances were Callum Hawkins and Paul
Leck in the 3000m Senior Men, winning by a massive margin of more
than 45 seconds - a huge PB for Paul as well. Elsewhere PB for David
Kerr in the 400m and good wins for Billy Russell in the Triple Jump
and B 100m. There were a number of other good wins for Kilbarchan
athletes listed below. We will hope for better in the next two
matches.
Kilbarchan event winners
Holly Belch 12.61 100M - SENIOR WOMEN A
Kim Crawford 2.31.06 800M - UNDER 13 GIRLS A
Holly Belch 21.09 JAVELIN - SENIOR WOMEN A
Rachel Pugh 19.71 JAVELIN - SENIOR WOMEN B
Callum Hawkins 8.41.47 3000 M - SENIOR MEN A

TRAINING SESSIONS:
For some time it has been our practice at Kilbarchan Athletic Club
to put the Monday night fartlek sessions on the club web site in
advance.
This is (1) to provide athletes with information in advance as to
the content of the training programme; (2) to enable those using
Garmins to pre-programme their watches to the appropriate
time/distance settings; (3) to enable those training from home or
from gymnasia to do the sessions at a time suitable to their own
circumstances; and (4) to allow athletes to adapt the sessions to
exercise bike, ski-machine, cycle-machine, treadmill and swimming
pool sessions during rehabilitation or inclement weather phases.
I know reliably that our sessions are accessed and used by other
clubs and their athletes visiting the KAAC web site.
Consequently, I am suggesting that we no longer put KAAC sessions
into the public domain, otherwise this puts our athletes at a
disadvantage if/when rival competitors/clubs know what we are doing
and can use our training programme to their own benefit.
This has assumed a major dimension during recent weeks with the
approach of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year and the
requisite acquisition of qualifying times for that event.
We have a number of athletes at KAAC who are in contention for Games
places and whose training programmes (or some of the programmes) can
be utilised by rivals for places in the Scottish CG team.
It seems illogical, therefore, that we should be making our
programme known to our members' rivals.
This is a bit like a football team announcing publicly to their
opponents what training they do or what strategies they will employ
in and during the run-up to major tournaments.
I am proposing, therefore, that we just circulate our training
information to our own members or Friends of Kilbarchan AAC (eg
former members, club benefactors past and present etc).
This would be done by drawing up an e-mail list of people wishing to
know the sessions in advance or simply by making the information
available by phone or word of mouth at club training sessions.
The change would still mean that those wishing for details about the
sessions would still have access to that information in advance.
The only thing different would be our sessions would be taken from
the public domain and restricted to 'in-house' circulation.
For the above reasons, I also propose we no longer provide website
information in retrospect about the Thursday track sessions.
I shall be putting these proposals forward at the next committee
meeting so if anyone wishes to comment could they please phone me on
01505 324928 or e-mail:

Thank You

FAREWELL AND THANKS, RICHARD:
Richard Beal, who has been a loyal and faithful member of Kilbarchan
AAC, is leaving us after five years.
Richard is moving out of our area to live in Troon. So Monday 22nd
April 2013, is likely to his last session with us.
KAAC in general, and the road-running group in particular, wish to
thank Richard for all his fine work in posting the club training
sessions on the website, supervising sessions and carrying the
watch to time the repetitions.
Hopefully, we shall see him from time to time at some of our
training sessions if and when he can manage along.
We wish you all the best, Richard.
May all your road-running miles be joyful and light of foot and may
our paths cross again from time to time. Happy trails!!
