Cathy Dudfield reports...
I would like to congratulate everyone who turned up and ran the Bourton 10K race today. It was a bitter cold morning (tho' not stopping Barry turning up in a vest!!!!) It was good to see such a good turn out with 6 of 12 runners having well deserved PB's.
Andy continued his good form after the Weston Tough Ten being first home for the club in a time of 34:16(PB). Jon followed Andy home having another good run in 34:40.
Jason had a pleasing run finishing in 37:32 and Barry (vest and all!!!!) ran a good race setting another PB in 40:19(PB). Steve was the next finisher for the club having a strong race and was happy with a time of 40:52.
Stu D after finishing another hectic nightshift also had a strong run recording a PB of 41:16(PB). Next in was Carol who seems to go from strength to strength having a brilliant race in a time of 43:30(PB).
I came in next after not having a particularly good run in a time of 46:07. I would like to say it was enjoyable but I won't!! My poor husband, I've done nothing but moan about how disappointed I was with my race. Hopefully full fitness will return soon!! Mick however did enjoy his run finishing in a pleasing time of 46:44.
Lisa ran a superb first 10K run in a time of 47:48, easily beating her target time of 50mins. She was very pleased with this and so she should be.
Sandy had a good solid run, especially as she didn't know she was running until 2 hours before. She set a time of 49:04(PB) and was accomponied around by Angie who ran after completing a hard marathon the day before. She used the run as a recovery run and enjoyed the morning finishing just in front of Sandie.
Can I just finish by thanking Bev for turning up and supporting us all, especially after her taking a nasty fall just over a week ago. I'm glad to see she is feeling much better and we will see her back running on Saturday at the road relays.
