A big congratulations to all the Harriers who took part in last weekend's London Marathon. Some great achievements on the day, including 3 sub 3 hour performances. First home for the club was Matt Ellis, who ran a consistent pace to finish in a time of 2.51.25 - knocking 4 minutes off his time from Paris last year. Next home was John Collier, who pre race was planning for a crack at sub 2.30. All seemed to be going to plan with the first half reached in 1.15.47, but a stress fracture to his shin caused him to slow right down - amazingly he still finished in a time of 2.52.04.
First lady home was Emma D'Alton, who ran her first sub 3 hour marathon, finishing in a time of 2.56.54. This was an improvement of some 13 minutes, on her time from Edinburgh last year. Next home Colin Johnson, who got agonisingly close to the 3 hour mark, unfortunately tiring in the final few miles finishing in 3.04.39. Hamid Khan was very close behind in 3.06.19 and Graham Clark just sneaked in under 3.10 - 3.09.39. Congrats to all the men who have earned GFA entries into next year's event!
Edd Gould ran an excellent marathon finishing in 3.15.38, Tim Synge ran 3.26.56, Nick Marshall 3.43.02 and Aidan Naughton 3.55.54. Next home was Gill Jones, just outside of 4 hours, running 4.01.03. Laura Tanna ran 4.06.42, with Jane Goodwin close behind in 4.17.37, Simon Gardiner in 4.22.05, Jane Thornton in 4.22.45, Robert Hawkins in 4.36.46 and Lizzy Meadows in 4.54.15.
Well done to you all!
