1. ROTM – Mark Vaughton for his recent marathon. Mark is like a machine, he just keeps running
MOTH – Chris Almond. His support, as always is incredible to us all who are in training at the moment.

Tracy Davies

2.ROTM: Carla Jenkinson – This girl is going from strength to strength at the minute. She has had an amazing month of committed training and has improved vastly within this time too. Not only has she been determined and focused in her own training though, she has also supported others in theirs and has organised extra sessions for others too. Very proud of her, as she’s had such a busy month even without all the extra training that she’s done! Keep it up!
MOTM: Ben Johnson – Ben organised a very successful group session, introducing members to a this brick type of training. Many of us are fairly new to triathlons and he really helped to put everyone at ease. A great bike and run session delivered, even with sweets, chocolate and flap jacks to hand! I know, that I and many others are grateful to have received this knowledge and expertise before our upcoming triathlon. Not only that, but he’s even sent out extra advice to everyone too!

Shout out to Lisa Ingham, as she’s completed some amazing runs and achieved some great things this month, too.

Hayley Duckworth

3.MOTM: would like yo nominate Lesley Dewhurst for sorting out the treasure hunt event, it was great fun and well organised. Big thanks to Eileen for sorting out tape so we didn’t get lost x
ROTM: A lot of great speedy parkruns, 5ks and half marathons this month but my vote goes out to Lisa Ingham for her tough felling running, winning 1st in age is massive for BRR as I think its easier to run a marathon than run some of these fell runs, they definitely take every bit of strength you have. Lisa just seems to breeze through without breaking a sweat. Caroline Slater is also running extremely strong at the moment, she’s one to watch at her next race.

Christine Warrington

9. As I’ve been injured the last month I’ve been watching from a far. Re the runner of month I’ve seen the miles both Andrew Gardner, Jason Rip and Jon Turner have put in this month. Two of which were abroad when they did it. I’m in awe of all three but my nomination goes to Jon Turner who’s as determined as I’ve ever seen him to reach his goal. Fair play pal, reach for the stars you’re a top runner.
MOM goes to Ben Johnson who continues to inspire BRR club members to achieve their goals in triathlons. It’s inspired many to try and succeed. Respect, take a bow 🙇‍♂️

Mark Vaughton
