Cricklade Half Marathon – 6th October 2019

This was the penultimate race within the club’s own race series, although some members were not there, preparing themselves for the annual overseas trip next week (this year to Sophia, Bulgaria).

First home for the club was Martin Cook in 1:33:19, providing a good training run ahead of the Snowdonia Marathon later this month. First lady for the club was Susan Hunt, who had a fine run finishing in 1:51:57. Liz Hulcup and Linda Edwards kept each other company for 9 of the 13.1 miles. Liz eventually pulled away to finish 1st LV60 in 1:55:06, while Linda achieved 2:02:57 – not bad a week after running the Berlin Marathon.

Bournemouth 10k – 5th October 2019

With the weather being better than was forecast, Steph and Gary Holton ran further-afield at the Bournemouth 10k.

Whilst it was a flat course along the sea front, nobody mentioned that about 75% of the course would be covered in sand!

Steph finished in 49:46, 3rd FV55 and Gary, after very little training due to injury, finished in 54:16. This being their last race before facing their next challenge - The Chicago Marathon.
