2007 DODDERTHON!
(OK it was a Half Dodderthon....)
Congratulations to the Dods who took part in the Stroud Half Marathon on Sunday October 21st! And especially to Dave Savage who ran in a Dodderers T shirt!
How about a Dods Team next year??? After Sunday Doddery - now that would be impressive! (Click photos for full size image)
Dave Savage running through, at the half-way stage, and at pace. Hence the blurred picture.
... and clearly lying fifth in the race. Note the Williams support team trying to catch him.
... but up ahead of him, Cooky is in second.
Andy and Cheryl Smith. Probably the first ever photo of a Doddette competing with (and beating) a Dodd.
(Photos and comments by the President. Taken from outside his home at Standish Court just before sitting down to Sunday Lunch. A fine example of sporting commitment to our Doddering brethren.)

Taken from the vest numbers visible in the photographs! All apart from Nick Cook - who wasn't wearing one! What are you trying to hide Cooky?? ("Chip" Times are taken from when the runner's computer chip actually crosses the line - "Gun" times will be different as not everyone is on the start line when the gun goes....) "Cat Pos Gun Time" is your position in your Age/Gender Category. Gun Pos is your overall position. So basically - out of 1,461 runners:
Dave Savage was 730th in 1hr 48:53; Andy Smith was 1,138th in 2hr 05:32 and Cheryl was a very creditable 1,247th in 2hr 11:58! Well done team! Just to finish is a result! And at least you did it..... Any other Dods who took part and who were not photographed - please let me know your race number and I will include you in the Hall of Fame!)
