Tell me more, tell me more! Was it really that fast?! Tell me more, tell me more! I know I’d have come last… Well, it’s been another strong couple of weeks’ racing for the Club, despite the heat that has had all normal people hiding in their refrigerators. (I got chills, they're multiplying.) Fortunately, this lot be Greased Lightning and you're in for a Megamix.  Last Friday of the Month 5k Graham Collett flew round the monthly 5k on 31 July, clocking an impressive 19:08. Bearbrook 10k A great turnout at the Bearbrook 10k on 2 August saw some excellent performances across the field. Leading the way was Daire Stack, who produced a fantastic run to finish 4th overall in 34:15. Not far behind, Dom Baker broke 40 minutes with 39:57, while Tom Wright and Tim Margetts crossed the line just five seconds apart in 43:50 and 43:55 respectively. Mim Kempson completed the club contingent, finishing in 52:31.  Burnham Beeches Half Marathon & 10k The picturesque but challenging Burnham Beeches event attracted a large club turnout today, 9 August. In the half marathon, Mark Nicholas led the way with a strong 1:29:36, followed by Graham Collett in 1:33:08. There were excellent runs throughout the field, with Ben Hannen (1:42:58), Abi Askey (1:45:50) and Silvia Moss (1:49:38) all dipping under 1:50. Caroline Stephens and Giles Greenhalgh, finished just three seconds apart in 2:00:05 and 2:00:08, proving that every second counts. The 10k also featured some strong performances. Kingsley Nanton was first home for the club in 43:07 (a strong performance that surely reflects his first ever training session with the Club this week!), closely followed by Ian Lawson(44:11) and Andy Hickman (45:31). Heidi Folkard, Rebecca Lawson, Paul Horwood and Jessica Moss all finished comfortably inside the hour.  Richmond Park Half Marathon
Completing the weekend's action, Nathan Taylor took on the Richmond Park Half Marathon, recording a 2:21:45 (Strava time) while accompanying his daughter on her half marathon debut. Congratulations to Team Taylor!

I’m getting increasingly lazy in my old age, so if it ain’t obvious, it probably won’t be in there… Comments are closed.
