A group of three runners made the short trip to Newent to take part in the Glos Half.
Jason Draper performed well to finish under 1.27 minutes - a fine time over the undulating countryside course. And, even with a welcome drop of rain and light breeze, the air was still humid. Barry O’Driscoll had expected to run as well as club-mate Phillip Howells only to suffer from dehydration from the 8 mile mark, probably not the only athlete to be affected due to the hot and humid days preceding. O’Driscoll viewed his day philosophically and is looking forward to drinking more pre-race (water that is!). Ultra-distance veteran Phillip Howells clocked a fabulous time to finish in 88th place from a field of 300.
39th - Jason Draper 1-26.59
88th - Phillip Howells 1-36.06
134th - Barry O'Driscoll 1-44.30
