About Incite to Leadership
Jo Ilfeld, PhD
Our Team Assessment
Group Coaching & Workshops
A Group of High-Potential Employees
Create More Impact & Influence in Their Organizations
eBay and PayPal had sixteen high-potential female employees, director level and below, who they wanted to develop as leaders. Jo partnered with them to plan and deliver a 4-month career advancement and leadership development group program.
Using training and coaching, we covered topics including getting things done in cross-functional and multicultural teams, developing your own vision, and improving communication skills. Naturally, each woman brought her own challenges and questions to the group.
Participants had the opportunity to ask questions about situations in their own careers and departments and develop a new strategy for a better solution. The first and last sessions were hosted in person. The rest of the sessions were delivered through web conferencing.
"I never would have volunteered to lead this initiative if it wasn't for our conversation."
In addition to having the space to problem-solve current career issues, the majority of participants reported having less workplace stress overall, greater awareness of their executive presence, and an increased ability to work better with others. Several representative participant outcomes are detailed below.
R. was relatively new in her position, and experiencing a disconnect with her manager. She didn't understand his approach, and as a result, doubted her ability to do well in her position. Through our work on the area of Deepening Your Executive Presence, R. explored how to communicate differently with her manager, letting him know directly what she needed from him to do her best work.
As a high performer in an external communications role, S. was feeling pushed into a spotlight that she wasn't sure she was even ready for. Her manager had plenty of confidence in her, but she wrestled with trusting that she could – or wanted to – take on such an important, visible responsibility. During our engagement, she focused on the area of Leading with Clarity of Vision, visualizing her own ideal of what it would be like to be on stage, communicating with an audience, and doing it masterfully. During the work she was speaking in front of hundreds of people at conferences. With these opportunities to be guided by her own vision, S. found herself excited by having an even bigger presence and impact as a spokesperson for her company.
M. chose to work on the area of Developing Your Influence. As the leader of a cross-functional. virtual and international team. she came to the group frustrated by her attempt to lead people who had no reason to listen. She worked on how to manage others without having direct authority over them, including how to give feedback so it's heard and coming back to equilibrium after a conflict. In addition, M. also worked on the area of Leading with Clarity of Vision, developing her own vision of what she wanted to do in her work. When her VP happened to ask for help with new initiatives a month later (that happened to match her vision). M. trusted her vision and her gut. and volunteered immediately. M. says, "I would never have volunteered to lead this initiative if it wasn't for our conversation."

French Open Dish: Nadal, Ivanovic Merciless
by Staff | June 2nd, 2008, 12:21 am
Nadal Brutalizes Verdasco at French Open
World No. 2 Rafael Nadal crushed fellow Spaniard Fernando "Hot Sauce" Verdasco 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 Sunday to move into the quarterfinals at the French Open.
Nadal had not dropped a set yet against four straight left-handers, extending his career record at Roland Garros to 25-0.
"It wasn't a good day for him," Nadal said. "I wish all my have matches were like this one. Here we don't want to have mercy for anybody."
Other players into the quarterfinals Sunday were (3) Novak Djokovic (d. (18) Paul-Henri Mathieu), (19) Nicolas Almagro (d. Jeremy Chardy), and "The Importance of Being" Ernests Gulbis (d. Michael Llodra), all in straight sets.
"He was destroying me in practices," Djokovic said of Gulbis, who he faces next. "I couldn't win a match."
On tap for Monday at Roland Garros is (1) Roger Federer vs. Frenchman Julien Benneteau, (28) Ivan Ljubicic vs. Frenchman Gael "Force" Monfils, (24) Fernando "Gonzo" Gonzalez vs. American Robby Ginepri, and (21) Radek "The Worm" Stepanek vs. (5) David Ferrer.
Ivanovic Bakes Double Bagel at French Open
With the absence of the retired world No. 1 Justine Henin, and the no-longer-dominant Williams sisters who lost during week one, the question is, who will be the new French Open champ? From Sunday's results, look no further than 2007 runner-up and world No. 2 Ana Ivanovic, who blistered Petra Cetkovska 6-0, 6-0.
"If Ivanovic didn't know this was going to be a difficult match, she knows now," said jumping-the-gun Tennis Channel commentator Martina Navratilova after Cetkovska won the first two points of the match in impressive fashion. After that, it was all Ivanovic.
"It was much tougher than it probably looked," Ivanovic said. "I had to work really hard, and I played almost without mistake today. She's a good player, and she started first game well and she had a lot of chances afterwards in the second set. But I stepped up and I was really playing my game and really making really few unforced errors."
Her Serbian compatriot and No. 3 seed Jelena Jankovic overcame arm pain to defeat No. 14 seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 7-6(3).
"I was struggling at the end but somehow I managed to win that tiebreak," Jankovic said. "It was very difficult for me because she was returning a lot of balls. She was not making many mistakes and I wasn't going for my shots. I was just guiding the ball and not executing anything. I needed to go for it even though I had pain…Basically the whole thing is a mess. But I have a day off now so I will see what can be done."
Also into the quarterfinals were (10) Patty Schnyder (d. (27) Katarina Srebotnik), and 19-year-old Spanish sensation Carla Suarez Navarro, who pulled another upset with a win over No. 26 Flavia Pennetta.
"I thought the match would probably be a bit more difficult," said Suarez Navarro, who qualified into the main draw.
Suarez Navarro will next face Jankovic.
"I feel really good," Suarez Navarro said. "In the first set my muscles were a bit tight because I was a bit nervous, but there's always pressure on a player, and I think I coped with it very well today. Before I come here every day I am trying to relax as much as possible, but I always get nervous when I get to the grounds."
On court Monday at Roland Garros are (1) Maria Sharapova vs. (13) Dinara Safina in an all-Russian, (11) Vera Zvonareva vs. (7) Elena Dementieva in an all-Russian, (4) Svetlana Kuznetsova vs. (16) Victoria Azarenka, and an all-unseeded in Petra Kvitova vs. Kaia Kanepi.
Rafael Nadal is now 25-0 at Roland Garros, and he's won 112 of his last 114 matches on clay. Plus, he's 38-0 in best of five matches on clay. Want more? Ok, he's won 33 of his last 34 sets at the French Open…Carla Suarez Navarro hits a one handed backhand — quick, name another WTA player that also does who is under 24…Luis Horna is the last non-Slam champion to beat Roger Federer in a Grand Slam…Will the French men go 0-5 in the French Open round of 16? It's up to Julien Benneteau and Gael Monfils…Five of the eight women playing Monday are from Russia…Ana Ivanovic has two career double bagels after today. Martina Sucha was her first victim at 2005 Warsaw…Rafael Nadal has not lost a set…Victoria Azarenka has only lost 6 games…Did Justine Henin pick a poor time to retire or what? She could win another French right now with a two-handed backhand…Only 4 of the Top 16 men reached the fourth round, which is the fewest at the French in the Open Era…Roger Federer has reached 16 straight Slam Sweet 16s…Hey, it's Federer's 227th straight week at No. 1….Quick, name the last Czech player to reach the French Open quarterfinals? Answer: 1992 Karel Novacek. Radek Stepanek will try to join him Monday…Fernando Gonzalez has only lost one career set in three meetings with Robby Ginepri. Ginepri has 9 career clay wins — four this week — while Gonzo has 134…We kid you not, Fernando Gonzalez has not lost a clay match this year. He's a perfect 15-0. See for yourself…Sorry Monfils fans, Ivan Ljubicic has lost just one set to Gael in four matches…Forecast: Certainly could be some rain showers…Japan's Akiko Morigami accused a national team coach of asking her to lose a doubles match, as a defeat would boost another player's chances of qualifying for the Beijing Olympics, Jiji Press reported.

A yellow fever outbreak in Angola has killed 37 people since December with eight new cases reported in the last 24 hours, the country's national director of health Adelaide de Carvalho said late on Wednesday. The outbreak of yellow fever, which is transmitted by mosquito bites, began in the Luanda suburb of Viana but has spread to other areas of the southern African country with 191 people infected so far. De Carvalho said health officials were monitoring suburbs around the capital of Luanda where infections have been worsened by unsanitary conditions caused by a garbage collection backlog.

Theresa May Challenged By Woman With Learning Disabilities
Theresa May has been confronted on the campaign trail by a woman with learning disabilities, who asked why the the Conservatives are giving money to big business not the vulnerable.
During a visit to Abingdon in Oxfordshire, Cathy Mohan told the Prime Minister that the Tory cuts to the Disability Living Allowance has put her and her friends in an incredibly difficult position.
She said: "Theresa, are you going to help people with learning disabilities? I'm being serious I want you to do something for us."
Mrs May responded: "We've got a lot of plans for people with mental health in particular."
But Ms Mohan interrupted: "And learning disabilities, because I've got mild learning disabilities and I haven't got a carer at the moment, and I'm angry. And I would like somebody to help me, because I can't do everything I want to do.
"I'm talking about everybody, not just me. I'm talking about everybody who's got mental health and learning disabilities. I want them not to have their money taken away from them and being crippled.
"The fat cats keep all the money and us lot get nothing.
"Do you know what I want? I want my disability living allowance to come back. Not have PIPs and get nothing. I can't live on £100 a month. They just took it all away from me."
The Prime Minister told her: "What I can do is ensure that we're giving more help to people with mental health and learning disabilities.
"We want to ensure when we look at the help we're giving to people with any disability that particularly we focus on those who are most in need."

Dayenu is a traditional Passover song that is sung to express gratitude to God. Read on to know more about this upbeat song.
One of the most popular Seder tunes, it describes some of the many favors that God bestowed upon the Israelites when He led them to freedom into the Land of Paradise from Egypt. This song has been taken from "Haggadah", the holy book of the Jews. The word "Dayenu" is loosely translated into, "it would have been enough for us", "it would have been sufficient", or "it would have sufficed." This song is over 1000 years old and is taken from the ninth-century Seder Rav Amram. The song praises the Lord for all the 15 gifts that He bestowed upon the Jewish people and each of the verse ends with the line that had God only given one of the gifts, it would have still been enough. The song appears in the "Haggadah" and is sung after the elders tell the story of the exodus and before the description about Passover. Dayenu has 15 stanzas. Here is the five stanza break up and also the full translation of the song.
1) If He had brought us out of Egypt.
2) If He had executed justice upon the Egyptians.
3) If He had executed justice upon their gods.
4) If He had slain their first born.
5) If He had given to us their health and wealth.
6) If He had split the sea for us.
7) If He had led us through on dry land.
8) If He had drowned our oppressors.
9) If He had provided for our needs in the wilderness for 40 years.
10) If He had fed us manna.
11) If He had given us Shabbat.
12) If He had led us to Mount Sinai.
13) If He had given us the Torah.
14) If He had brought us into the Land of Israel.
15) If He built the Temple for us.
Dayenu, it would have sufficed!


The apex court had declined to answer the government's queries if all mobile phone permits issued between 1994 and 2008 without following the auction process.
NEW DELHI: The government is of the view the Supreme Court verdict on Presidential Reference establishes the validity of the existing mobile phone licences issued since 1994, a top official said.
The apex court had declined to answer the government's queries if all mobile phone permits issued between 1994 and 2008 without following the auction process, including the dual technology licences issued to Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices, should also be cancelled.
"The Supreme Court has said policy matters remain the exclusive domain of the government. The court is of the view that auction is not a must, and has added that the principle of revenue maximization cannot be the only goal when giving out natural resources. All mobile permits from 1994 to 2008 were given according to existing government policy, which, the court has clarified, remains the exclusive power of the executive. So, it can be inferred that only the 122 licences that were given by former telecom minister A Raja stand quashed and all existing permits are valid," the official quoted above said.
Meanwhile, telecom minister Kapil Sibal hailed the SC order and said it provided 'constitutional clarity', and added that the apex court orders confirmed the government's stance. "What I had said one year ago has now been confirmed in a sense by the Supreme Court by bringing clarity to the whole issue. The court has said that there is no constitutional imperative in the matter of economic policy. You cannot strike down a policy by invoking Article 14 of a policy, especially economic policy where distribution of assets is involved," Sibal said during an interaction with the media.
The Supreme Court also declined to answer the query on whether existing mobile phone companies should pay the auction-determined price for the airwaves they currently hold. In July, the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) on telecom, headed by finance minister P Chidambaram, had decided to take up this issue after the outcome of the presidential reference in the Supreme Court.
Now, the government must take on call on this controversial issue before the upcoming 2G spectrum auctions scheduled to begin on November 12. It must also decide if incumbent GSM operators must pay the auction determined fee for all the excess airwaves they hold beyond the 6.2 MHz limit either retrospectively or prospectively. It is learnt that the Chidambaram-headed EGoM will meet next week to consider this issue.

In case of small house-keeping service providers (plumbers/carpenters) providing services through E-Commerce Operators, liability to pay GST would be placed on E-Commerce Operators.
The GST Council considered and recommended that the central government may move legislative amendments required for increasing the maximum ceiling of cess leviable to 25 per cent instead of the present 15 per cent so that the increased cess may be levied on motor vehicles falling under headings 8702 and 8703.
However, the decision on when to raise the actual cess leviable on the same will be taken by the GST Council in due course.

Fastpitch Softball Pitching Testimonials
Here are just some of the many positive feedback Mike has
received from his fastpitch softball pitching lessons
My daughter was the no. 3 pitcher as a sixth grader on her middle school softball team. By the time the season began the following spring she was the starting pitcher for her team. This happened because, with Mike's help, Matti increased her pitching speed from 45 mph to a consistent 53-54 mph in just 5 lessons. She also had a very noticeable increase in movement and accuracy with her pitches. In the hitting department she finished the season with a .454 average and 22 rbi's. What's most noticeable is how much harder she is consistently hitting the ball. Mike is the only instructor I know that gives a true one solid hour of hands on training along with video records he uses to help instruct his students. Mike breaks down and simplifies the proper mechanics of pitching and hitting so my daughter and I can fully understand what he is trying to get her to accomplish. Very glad we found you, Bob Parks
What you have done for Kiersten's hitting and pitching is amazing. When I watch her games now I can't believe that is my daughter doing so well. In March, at 12 yrs old, she started playing softball. Before you, we were working on what everyone was telling us about hitting (squish the bug, twist the hips, stay back and fast hands) and pitching (faster arm circle and snap the wrist at release). She was really struggling to even hit the ball and had little power. Pitching she couldn't get past 36 mph. With your changes she is now averaging over 50 mph on her fastball sometimes hitting 53 and over. She looks so effortless and the pitches you have taught her so far, (fastball, change up, drop curve and screwball)make her even harder to hit against. In her last 76 outs, she has 71 strikeouts and has only given up 12 hits. WOW. Seeing these results in just 5 months with you blows my mind. What you teach is amazing, Jason Edge
I started my 10 year old daughter with Mike in October 2015. Up to that point she had been an average hitter and pitcher. She has had several instructors many of which taught her things like "squish the bug" and "fast hands" in hitting and "faster arm circle" and "snap the wrist" during pitching. After taking the very first video lesson with you it was obvious that these characteristics are not what the successful professionals and college pitchers and hitters are doing. Tatum takes ½ hour pitching and a ½ hour hitting lesson once a week. In April 2016 during her ASA opening tournament she hit 5 home runs and was very dominate on the mound. During a recent tournament in Ashland, Kentucky Tatum pitched three "no hitters" and had another home run, bringing her home run count to 9. She has really excelled in both hitting and pitching. We give all the credit to Mike for her success. We look forward to watching her excel under Mikes tutelage. Thank you Mike and Zelda!!! Allen Halley
My Daughter just had her second lesson and I just couldn't believe the difference you have made in her pitching. We had gone to 2 other pitching coaches the last 3 years that were teaching her to snap her wrist. We thought she was doing good but she kept getting a sore shoulder and bicep after 4 innings. A couple parents said you taught pitching a much better way and to go see you. You showed us on the video snapping the wrist was the problem and it was hurting her speed. We were amazed in the first lesson she added 4 miles per hour with one thing you showed us. The second lesson we couldn't believe she added another 3 miles per hour and after a whole hour of pitching her arm wasn't hurting. She has so much more confidence that she can pitch a whole game and not have a sore arm. All this after only 2 pitching lessons. Thank you so much! Regina M.
Mike, I want to thank you for taking my daughter from being the no. 4 pitcher to the best pitcher on her travel team in only 6 months. The coaches and another former pitcher were working with her to snap the wrist harder but she wasn't getting better. They didn't let her pitch much because she couldn't get past 37 mph and the other pitchers were throwing 44 to 45 mph. When she did try to throw faster her control suffered and her arm would get sore. She was ready to give up pitching when we found you.
The first lesson you showed us what we were learning is why she wasn't getting better. You said you were going to teach us how the best pitchers actually pitch. She looked at me and said " I really want to pitch, I want to try this". After 6 months she has gained 11 mph and is now the fastest pitcher on the team and has really good control. You have even taught her other pitches that move so much I can hardly catch her anymore. Now the coaches want to know about you because they can't believe how much faster she is pitching in only 6 months and their daughters are still throwing the same speed. The way you teach pitching is so different and so much better. Joe B.
The changes you have made in our daughters pitching is amazing. She had been going to an instructor all the other parents said to go to. We thought she threw really hard and the instructor said she could maybe see an increase in speed of 2 to 3 mph per year. The first lesson you showed us almost everything we were learning (faster arm circle and snapping the wrist) was actually making her throw slower than she should, this really intrigued us. You gave us just one thing to work on and when we came in for the second lesson she had gained 4 mph on her fastball. That blew our minds, we never expected this much of an increase so soon! In 5 months with your help she has gained over 10 mph on her fastball, her control is now amazing and she looks so effortless. She is now the number 1 pitcher and throwing harder than anyone. Other parents can't believe how much better she is because it was suppose to take a minimum of 3 years to gain 10 mph. We owe this all to you. Thanks Jennifer D.
What you have done for our daughters pitching is nothing short of amazing. She wanted to start pitching last year and the only thing she was taught by a coach and a couple parents was to snap her wrist at release. We worked hard on this but she didn't improve. The coach said she needed more speed and better control before he would let her pitch.
You showed us a much different way to pitch and within a couple months I saw a big difference in her speed, control and confidence. Her coach couldn't believe the difference this Spring. She started out the number three pitcher. She pitched the last couple innings in relief the first few games. She pitched so well she got to start a game and only gave up two hits. The next game she started and again only gave up two hits. The coach now says she is the number one pitcher. Everyone can't believe the difference you have made for her. She is pitching so much better and you say she is only at 50% of her full potential. I tell people this and they look at me like I am crazy. We are having so much fun. Jack T.
Mike, we brought our daughter in for pitching lessons because her shoulder kept getting sore and sometimes she had to come out of the game because it hurt so much. We already thought she was a good pitcher and her coaches and a couple instructors said she had great mechanics. No one could figure out why her shoulder would hurt. Some of the things we were learning I read on your website you said not to do so I wanted to see if you could help her.
I was thrilled when you showed us the video with our daughter pitching and pointed out the two things (faster arm circle and snap the wrist) you said will make her shoulder and arm sore before I even told you that is why we were there. These two things are what we had been learning from everyone. Then I couldn't believe it when you showed us three things she wasn't doing that were taking some of her power and control away. These three things had never been mentioned to us. When you put her beside a couple Team USA pitchers to show us what you were talking about we could see the difference immediately.
We are working hard on the things you are showing us and she has added almost eight miles per hour to her fastball and now her change up you taught us makes her a much better pitcher than ever before. She was so excited after the fourth lesson her shoulder wasn't hurting and hasn't hurt since. Last game she pitched five innings with nine strikeouts and didn't give up a run. Two days later she went in to close the game and shut down the other team the last two innings. What a difference, her shoulder and arm never hurt. We enjoy your lessons and I see such a big difference in her confidence. Joel C.
Thanks for helping so much with my daughters pitching this year. She was having problems with her control and not much speed on the ball. Our first lesson I told you what we were learning from another instructor. In the video lesson you showed us the top pitchers don't do any of the main things were working on. The difference has been great. Her control is so much better and she is throwing almost 10 mph faster. The last game was her best. She pitched five innings, had 10 strikeouts and only gave up two hits.
Last year my daughter wanted to start pitching. She didn't get to pitch because she was throwing the ball all over the place with little speed. We are so happy she started working with you and has improved more than we can believe. At the start of this year she was the fastest pitcher on the team. Now she is the fastest pitcher in the league with good control. My wife and I can't believe the difference, she just keeps getting better. The last game she struck out six straight batters. The umpire even came over and told us he was impressed with her control and how hard she was throwing the ball. Her coach is now wanting to know where she learned this because he is amazed how much better she is pitching in less than one year.
Thanks for everything, Mark R
What a difference you have made in my daughters pitching and hitting. I think she is a good athlete and we had been going to every clinic, college camp and instructor we could find to help her get better. They all taught the same thing and said she would get better if she worked on rotating her hips and getting her hands faster for hitting. Pitching she needed to windmill her arm faster and snap her wrist at release. She wasn't getting better so I kept looking for help. On your site we noticed everything we were learning you said the best players were not doing. Am I glad we checked you out!
When we did the video lesson for hitting and then for pitching I was amazed the difference of what we were being taught and what the best players were actually doing. Its great that in just a few lessons and doing your drills she is throwing the ball so much harder, I can't believe it. Now she asks me to catch her almost everyday because her arm doesn't hurt anymore.
Her hitting has become so much better, her coach even came up to me to see if we changed bats. Everyone has noticed how much smoother she looks and the ball is jumping off her bat so hard. She has so much more confidence and can't wait to bat now. I have told everyone about you, I think you are going to get very busy.

Jongbok Yi
Associate Professor of Asian Philosophy
I was born in Seoul, Korea. I studied Ch'an or Zen Buddhist traditions in China and Korea, and also studied and practiced Daoism and Confucianism in Sungkyunkwan University. After attaining an M.A. degree for early Ch'an Buddhism at Seoul National University in 2000, while studying Indian and Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism at the University of Virginia, I achieved an M.A. in 2005 and a Ph.D. degree in 2013. I am very interested in the intellectual history of the philosophy of the Middle Way (Madhyamaka, dbu ma) in India and Tibet. Currently, I am planning to collaborate with two Japanese scholars to publish a series of books on Tibetan understanding of Indian Middle Way School from 8th century C.E. to 15th century C.E.
I am also a tea drinker. Please stop by and tell me your story with a sip of tea.

Exeter's Historic Quayside is one of the most attractive areas of the city, popular with locals and visitors alike for its fascinating history, interesting architecture and lively pubs and restaurants. Throughout the year events are held around the quay, everything from 10k runs to live music.
The Quayside has been enhanced to provide a fascinating mix of historic and contemporary design. It is the ideal place to browse in antique shops, walk and cycle, take a relaxing boat trip or find something good to eat. A wonderful place for everyone, whether you're looking to have an amble to take in the sights or perhaps something a bit more active, there's facilities on the quay to hire bikes and canoes.
Along the quay is an eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars where you can enjoy good food, people watch and soak up the lovely atmosphere. Definitely a great place to spend a sunny afternoon.....and if it's not so sunny? Grab a table at one of the places inside and watch the world go by.
For a comprehensive history of the quay be sure to visit the Custom House Visitor Centre.
Clip N Climb is healthy & challenging climbing fun for everyone ages 4yrs & up!


Last year we had 3 courses, the 10k, 22k & 42k. This year KMF asked for some changes, so we developed the 5k, 10k, 25k & 50k Ultra. The weather was mixed, with Saturday being cold, windy but sunny when we marked all the courses. Sunday proved to be much more challenging for the competitors. The weekend didn't come without its problems & fair share of upsets, but it was also over run with comments of joy, tears, happiness, exhaustion, pure grit & determination.
The 10k finished with a course record from Mark Lamb (Mountain Fuel/Keswick AC), smashing last years time of 00:46:34, by over 5 minutes with a super fast time of 00:38:52 on tired legs, having already run in the 1st wave, and clocking roughly 14km already. Amazing recovery Mark, can't wait to see what time he can put in at the event next year, with fresh legs & no marking issues.
2nd place was scooped by another Mountain Fuel runners, Jonny Hume (Mountain Fuel/Keswick AC) in a time of 00:41:47, 3rd place falling to Keith Melvin in a close 00:41:55.
The women's race was won by Lynne Callaghan with a very strong run and another course record set with a time of 00:53:02 (00:55:48 in 2014), 2nd place fell to Bridget Bastow in a time of 00:53:19 & Vicky Green stormed in for 3rd place in a time of 00:53:29. All of the top three women runners beat the 2014 course record, well done ladies!
However I do need to apologies for all those 10k runners in the 1st wave that saw many runners taking a catastrophic wrong turn, making some runners aspirations of a 10k glory into a 13k cockup. There really can be no excuses for something like this happening & as the race planners & director I have to take this very seriously & completely on the chin. We took some blows last year when the course markings were stripped on the run into Keswick for all the courses & had to act fast to place marshals out on the course to stop runners heading into Keswick. This year we made massive provision for this, improved the course markings massively on the 3km run in from Portinscale & added 10 marshals to this section to direct runners through the busy streets to finish in Crow Park.
It was therefore a massive blow to find out that runners took a wrong turn early on in the course & added extra distance to their route. It affected many of the 1st wave of 10k runners & blew Josh Hebson's (Mountain Fuel runner) chances of a podium finish & smashing the 10k course record from last year. We can't apologise enough for this problem. The error came with a slightly confused race briefing, from one of our very tired course setters & some ambiguous course markings in now, is what we see as a problem area, that was not apparent last year. No one make any wrong turns in this section. We reacted as quickly as possible & had a marshal on this part of the course with-in minutes of being alerted to the error. We hasten to add it was only the 1st wave of the 10k who suffered this problem. All other waves were directed along the correct course. We can only hope the runners understand the error & are still not too disgruntled. Many I spoke to from the 1st wave were unhappy, but still enjoyed the beauty of the running & course and finished on a high, even though they had run more distance than intended.
Runners in waves 2, 3 & 4 had a great time & were full of compliments for the courses & markings alike, however we will be improving the markings for 2016 to make sure we don't have anymore issues & only happy tired runners, with medals & grins!
What makes the 10k really special though, its the fact we get all the runners on to the Keswick Launches & take them across Derwent Water to Low Brandlehow, a field supplied by Peter Edmonson (Seathwaite Farm/Campsite), and set them off through Manesty Woods to run back under Catbells. Its was touch & go this year as to whether the boats could sail, due to the wind, thankfully it decreased, rather than increased & all 4 savings went ahead!
The new 50km Ultra course attracted some serious competition at the top end, having Patrick Keane put in an amazing time of 05:03:50, 3 minutes quicker than my timing schedules on a day when the weather could have slowed him down. The course underfoot was in very good condition though, but the strong winds must have been energy sapping. Dave Troman (another Mountain Fuel Sponsored Runner) race it hard for 2nd place, trying his best to get on Patrick shoulder to put him under pressure. Better luck next year Dave. 3rd place fell to Damian Carr from HiTec, the main event sponsors in a very respectable time of 05:20:14. There were of course many other runners out on the course, competing against the wind, trails & themselves, over this short but tough ultra course. The distance is 50k, but the ascent is over 2000m, making it a good challenge for all competing in it. Undoubtably the star man of the day for us was John Bordiss, who took on the KMF Hoka One One Ultra 50, having never tried an ultra in the mountains before, working to a 20 week training program & then completing in a time of 10:37:50 minutes (we kept the course open for him - course closure was 17:00, he came in 7 minutes & 50 seconds late, we would have waited longer!). On his arrival at the finish, his wife, Ruth, overwhelmed us all by bursting into tears & choking the Mountain Run & KMF crew up completely. Its luck we weren't all blubbering messes. On speaking with John he said "it was the most amazing experience, I've never been out there in the mountains, on a race, in a valley before in complete isolation". He was literally lapping it up, with a grin that said he'd been to a different dimension & seen stuff others only dream about. Amazing performance John, well done you really made my day!
The weekend was fantastic, thank you. The organisation was equally incredible.
Attached is a picture of John, your last man standing! He did a 20 week training plan specifically for a 50km race but nothing would have prepared him for this. Having said that, without the serious training he wouldn't have finished.
you and your team have given us a weekend to remember. Thanks so much.
The women's race was won by Sarah Kay Norman, clocking an ultra fast time of 05:53:25, followed quite a way behind by Caroline Muhamad, a local Borrowdale runner, taking the 2nd place in a time of 06:29:43, and 3rd place fell to Xanne Janssen in a time of 06:33:45.
The newly designed 25k race started at 11:15 from Crow Park, with competitors being cheered off by many festival revellers, it was great to see, and created a real buzz in the festival site. Runners headed along towards Friars Crag & then head into the Ing's crossing the road into Castle Head Woods & up into Great Wood's, passing under Walla & Falcon Crags (very technical running here), it then weaves its way up the beautiful single tracks of Watendlath, before coming over the Grange Fell pass & back into Borrrowdale. Its a real sting in the first half of the course, but the second half holds lowland running, a time to either stretch out your legs & up the pace, or if the hills have hit you hard, slow up and recover slightly, before the fast trails & raid finish through Portinscale & back into Keswick for the Crow Park glory & finish.
Conrad Franks from Gateshead AC chewed up the course running an amazing pace & finishing in a time of 1:53:38, with an average pace of 22kmph! He was closely followed by Sam Stead, Keswick AC, who was no slouch, clocking a time of 1:56:43 with not much less of a pace in his legs. He told me post race his legs had been tired after the Latrigg Fell Race on Thursday evening! Short & sweet, but nether the less, very steep climbs. 3rd place fell to Matthew Hayes from East Hull Harriers in a very respectable & fast time of 2:03:31. 25k runners came in thick and fast, putting in fantastic performances over this technical but fast course.
The ladies were no slouches in the 25k & it seemed to attract some very fast ladies. 1st place was taken by Ella Brown (Alnwick Harriers) in a time of 02:25:02, being very closely followed by Gill Mead (City of Chester Triathlon Club) in a time of 02:25:32. Ella must have almost felt Gill breathing down her neck!! 3rd place was taken by Anabel Holmes from Keswick AC, local lass, in a time of 02:29:28. It looks like there was a real race between the ladies for 1st to 3rd places.
The 5km was another new course & race for this years festival. We assumed it would attract less serious runners & we added it as some fun. How wrong were we, when we felt the pressure of some very fast looking & performing runners taking it pretty damn seriously. The course proved to be exciting & husband & wife took 1st place for both sexes!
Russell Madams (Mountain Fuel) put in a great time of 18:54, with Mark Offord (Dragons Running Club) hot on his tail for 2nd place in a time of 19:24. Overall 3rd place was actually taken by Pippa Madams (Mountain Fuel), but we gave the mens 3rd to Craig Marsh in a time of 23:18.
Pippa Madams took the ladies 1st prize in a time of 22:32, being chased down by Louise Winter of Keswick AC in a time of 24:06, Stephanie Kitchen took 3rd place in a time of 24:48.
Mountain Fuel, a local running hydration & nutritional race supplement company seemed to dominate the race results with their running team/community, with Keswick AC runners taking control of a few of the others. It was great to see Conrad Franks smash up the 25k, from outside of the area, showing the locals they can't take their foot off the gas at all!
All in all the Trail Races went fantastically, with great support from not only the entrants, but all of the festival goers & holiday makers coming to spectate. It seemed the whole of Keswick was on fire for Trail & other sporting events. KMF is really taking hold!
As an RD my job is sometimes stressful, but very fulfilling, but it wouldn't be possible without my amazing team of marshals who spent hours out on the course making sure runners were fed, watered, looked after, sent in the right direction & generally stayed on their feet, hour after hour. I hope the runners really appreciated them, I certainly do.
A big thanks to Gary Tompsett & Stewart Caithness for working hard to make the 5km race run smoothly whilst I was in the vortex of the 10k, 25k & 50k races.
Team Nutrition, a South Lakeland sports hydration, nutrition & recovery company looked after the runners needs whilst out on the course & when arriving back at the finish. Robin & his team not only looked after all of Mountain Run's trail races, but did the Sportive & Tri events as well. Thats almost 2000 sporting individuals they kept hydrated, fed & watered throughout the weekend. Thanks Robin and team, you are amazing!
Of course my life is made even better by having 2 brilliant safety officers out on the courses, both who have more experience with mountains & mountain situations than I care to mention. Joe Faulkner (Nav4Adventure) & Stuart Smith (AdventureInMind) both make my life & your life a whole lot safer by carefully monitoring you all as you fly through the CP's. You might not notice them, but they are vigilant & on the game.
JC Race Solutions have received some flack for the delay in their timings being loaded up, but I have to say they have had a mega amount of competitors changes & some timing issues to deal with - sync's not being quite right on the 10k starts. Its taken us all quite a while to get to the bottom of this. We know its been frustrating for you all to wait for your race results & even more when you can't see yourself there, but Joe & crew have been working all hours during the event and for the last few days in order to get this sorted for you. Mountain Run would like to thank them for their tireless work, we hope you agree.
I would also like to thank Andrew Burton (Lakes Sky Ultra) & Gaynor Prior (Pure Outdoor Events) for marking the courses up with me the day prior to the event. Without them my life would be a whole lot more tiring!
Of course, thanks do go to the land owners, farmers, villagers & anyone else who is affected by the runners heading through their land, without who's kind permissions, these races would not be possible in the 1st place.
And last, but certainly not least, the KMF Crew, HiTec as overall event sponsors & Hoka One One for directly sponsoring the trail races.
We've had a lot of positive feedback & small amount of negative feedback for the races this year. Thanks all for taking the time to let us know what you thought. Here's is some of what has been happening on Twitter & Facebook, don't forget add something if the mood takes you!
