Sunday 6th March 2005
No snow on the course, just clear blue sky, light wind but cold!!!
The 335 runners who took part fought the wind going out and were hoping it
would be
behind them coming back, but this was not to be so.
The leader, Senior Man - Nick Baker (Denmead) was well in front for most of
the race,
but was overtaken by the winner, Veteran Runner - Andy Clements (Poole AC)
close to the 19-mile mark who finished in a time of 1:56:08, with Senior Man -
Robin Copestick
(1:56:39) also passing Nick, who finished in 3rd Place in 1:57:04.
The First Lady home was Veteran Runner Katherine Jones (Winchester & District
AC)
in a time of 2:14:02 followed by a fellow Veteran club member Beverley Edwards
in a
time of 2:14:31, the first Local Veteran was Dawn Critchell (Egdon Heath) in a
time of
2:16:41. The First Senior Lady home was Nicci Blandford (Southampton RC) in a
time of
2:28:22.
Had good reports back from the runners, but they would have like a mug not a
bum bag.
(I can't win!)
