Paul, Holly and Joaquim |
Three members of Grantham Running Club stormed to success at
the West Pinchbeck 10k on Sunday 30 September, tackling the fast, flat course
through quiet Lincolnshire country roads to complete the popular race. Participants started in good race day
conditions, but were met with a brisk headwind at the 5km stretch of the
course, typical of the Lincolnshire fens, which slowed down the majority of
participants.
Joaquim Jeronimo led the GRC contingency home by smashing
out a personal best of 40:10 in what has been a remarkable run of PB’s this
season for the GRC newcomer, affectionately known as Flash by fellow club members. Holly Durham was second home for the club
bagging a podium place with 3rd prize for the ladies in a time of
44:09, despite running a cautious race on account of a persistent Achilles
injury. Paul Jepson maintained recent form to complete the race in a commendable
time of 49:57, inching ever closer towards a 70% age grading.
