Colin Potter 10k

SDDR RUNNERS OUT IN FORCE AT THE COLIN POTTER 10K
10 SDDR runners completed the Colin Potter 10k, which attracted a record field of around 400 runners, on a very hot Friday evening in Derby.
Leading the club home, in a superb time of 40 mins 55 secs for 24^th place, was Andy Orme, who managed to overhaul Colin Mee, 28^th in 41.17, in the later stages of the race. There was yet another strong performance from Shane Chapman, who finished just behind, in 30^th place with a time of 41.38. Paul Chapman followed his brother in a time of 43.24 for 43^rd place, with Steve Leafe a few places behind in 53^rd, recording a time of 44.09.
Chris Gunstone, perhaps still feeling the effects of a challenging half marathon in Barra, paced himself for 71^st place, in a time of 45.11. The club had a further two finishers inside the top hundred, with debutants Ben Hiron-Jones  finishing in 92^nd, in 46.41, closely followed by Olwen Hiron-Jones in 98^th in a time of 46.55. Next home for the club was Adrian Middleton in 114^th place in a time of 47.52, whilst Mark Skidmore battled well in the heat for a time of 67.50 for 376^th place.
