		Alison breaks the two hour barrier in Bath Half Marathon for Trust Fund Association Secretary Alison Hentley ran the Bath Half Marathon on Sunday 15th March 2009 in a brilliant time of 01:58:37- congratulations Alison.

		Royal Parks Half Success Tristan Association Secretary Alison Hentley completed her second autumn half marathon on Sunday 12th October. This event was held in London's spectacular Royal Parks and Alison achieved a time of 2 hours, 1 minute and 6 seconds on a punishingly hot day. Alison found the "hit the wall" period (8-10 mile stretch) most difficult, but she embarked on a sprint finish to nevertheless try to break the 2 hour barrier. We salute Alison's continuing energetic fund-raising for the Tristan da Cunha Education Trust Fund, and hope as many friends as possible send a donation to support her wonderful effort -see link to sponsorship form below. You can check out the marathon's own website for details of Alison's run on ~ www.blacksheepsports.co.uk
		First Half Success Alison successfully completed the Bristol Half Marathon on 14th September, in a time of 2 hours 1 minute and 48 seconds. It was tough going on an unexpectedly hot Sunday morning, but Alison enjoyed it and describes how it 'feels great to have finished another one'. Alison is busy preparing for the second half of her Autumn running challenge on 12th October, and hopes despite the present credit crunch affecting us all, friends of Tristan will want to sponsor her to raise money for the Tristan Education Fund. We will publish news of the second half marathon soon and include an update on fund-raising after the Tristan Association Committee meeting on 18th October.
