15th March 2009
A very strong field made the most of the flat course and almost perfect conditions.
Won in 29 minutes; the first 30 running under 32 minutes – it sounds like one of Ray Eagle’s races from the glory days. One of these 30 was Damian who pushed his PB down to 31:56. Rob ran 33:19 to rewrite the V40 club record set by Tony almost 20 years ago. Mike Halman was taking it easy with a back injury.
