Emma storms to PB at Tewkesbury 1/2
They say a week is a long time in politics, but two weeks is nothing in running! Undaunted by running a sub 3 hr marathon at London and seemingly unbowed by running a PB in the Towpath 10k on Friday, Emma D'Alton headed up the M5 to Tewkesbury, where she ran a new half marathon PB of 1.20.42 - winning the ladies race and finishing 14th overall out of 1100 runners! Alex O'Keefe was also representing the Harriers and he got round in a time of 1.43.02.
Well done guys!
Well done guys!
Bristol 10k
A massive Harriers turn out at the Bristol 10k today! The 3rd running of the Bristol event saw over 10,000 runners take part and 11 sub-30 minute times, as it incorporated the UK 10k championships and an inter-area match as well! In the inter area match, the club had 2 representatives for the Midlands team - Sam Dalgleish for the men and Debbie Marsden in the ladies race.
The winning time of 28.29 was a new course record for Gordon Mugi, with Moumin Geele (of Newham and Essex Beagles) 2nd in 29.05. First home for the Harriers was Sam Dalgleish who finished 52 in 32.50, followed by Chris Palmer in 35.12, one place ahead of new boy Craig MacPherson who ran a cracking PB of 35.20 whilst Robin Nash, returning from injury, ran 35.37.
Debbie Marsden was the first lady home for the Harriers running 36.36, who finished just ahead of Anthony Ballance who ran a new PB of 36.48. Another new member Steve Hawes, ran 37.52 (not bad for a rugby forward ;-) ) with Colin Johnson 38.38, just ahead of Neil Scholes who ran 38.43. Graham Clark ran 39.01, followed by Ian Ruck (taking part in the business challenge), who posted a new PB of 39.06. He was shortly followed by Geraint Torrington, who also ran a big PB of 39.13. Dan Studley, struggled with his breakfast, and finished in 39.35, Charles Hobbs in 40.23, Keith Hill in 40.38, Steven Main 41.44, Mike Harris 42.09 and Zoe Dixon 42.19.
Just outside the top 500, Vicky Jones ran 42.26, while Katie Synge (43.16) outsprinted dad Tim (43.45), whilst Nick Marshall finished between them in a time of 43.20. Siana Jones was next home in 43.33, Lizzy Smith finished 738th in a time of 44.00, ahead of Jennifer Corbett in 44.54, Julian Wilson 45.15 and Kelly Winstone 46.17. Then it was Judy Knights in 47.13, Graham Bazley in 47.27, Beth Scholes in 47.35, Richard Hughes 48.43. Andrew Parsonage ran 49.32, Katie Moore 50.22, James Bertham 51.57, Sandra Sforza 54.26 and Myriam Camboulives 54.51. Diane Heys ran 56.14, Anthony Bird 56.59, Lindsay Hall in 57.08, Gemma Gardner in 59.24, Henry Nurser 59.34, Lauren Ratcliffe 59.46.
Just over the hour we had Sarah Lawes 1.00.23, Susan King 1.00.42, Sandra Maddock 1.01.34, Sarah Smith 1.03.36 and Kirsty Burns 1.10.39.
Great times from all!!!
