Helen's first X/C since 2010 |
Gav acknowledges the crowd |
A sunny but cold Bourne Woods was the venue for round three of the Lincolnshire
Runner Cross Country League last Sunday.
This woodland course is pretty much stony trails with a covering of damp leaves
more suited to trail shoes than full cross country spikes. For the second time
this year GRC has a full men’s team out meaning they are still on course to
have it counting in the final standings with the last race in December.
First
home for the club in the men’s race was Matt Williamson in 39:34 despite an 11½
mile tempo run the previous day sandwiched round the Belton parkrun. Next in
was Gav Meadows (41:25) taking it easy due to a heavy training session earlier in
the week with the third man to count Chris Toon (45:46) just managing to hold
off GAC’s Mark Tucker in a sprint finish. He was followed by long distance
specialist Andrew MacAllister (48:52) and Marc Tremain in 51:54
GRC has two ladies teams |
Justyna first back for B team |
For the first time this year we were able to field an A and
a B team in the ladies 6,000m race with seven runners taking part. First home
was Catherine Payne in 30:22, her first outing in three seasons, second back
was team captain Sarah High in 33:54 and completing the A team was Helen Brown
(35:14) taking part in her first X/C race since 2010. This gave our team the
best result of the season moving them up to fifth in the table.
Justyna Gill (38:46) led the B team followed by Belinda
Baker (46:09) with Julia Hallam (49:39) just edging out Claire Fritz (49:40)
for the final place.
