Jon Mansfield reports...
Angie Sadler and Sue Bruce both won their races over the bank holiday weekend. Sadler raced at Dymock and set a new female course record over the 1/2 marathon distance. The ladies race winner was out on her own from the gun and, running so well, she was never challenged. Her effort helped Tewkesbury AC collect another ladies team victory.
Bruce won her race at the White Horse (formerly the Globe) over a 5 mile course. Unlike Sadler, Bruce had a fight on her hands with one of the counties top girls and it wasn't until the last mile that Bruce took control to take the win.
Jason Draper was first to finish for the club in the Crowle 10km. Delighted Draper was one of five club members who added to the record 408 entrants over a scenic, somewhat undulating course through Worcestershire.
Jon Mansfield finished third, for the third time, in his third triathlon, in three weeks in the Gloucester event held at Newent
