\nThe race, featuring two climbs of Asfordby Hill, was run in dry but cold conditions & it was reigning Club Champion, Dominic Sharman, who set an early marker in this year\u2019s championship, as he led the group home in an excellent chip time of 43:26 for 38<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> place out of 460 finishers.

Making an excellent road racing debut for the Club was John Morgan who just got the better of Andy Windle as they stopped the clock in 45:36 & 45:39 & finishing positions of 65<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> & 66<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> places respectively with Stuart Halsey, also in the mix, in 73<\/span>rd<\/span><\/sup> place in 45:53. Andy Orme ran his usual well-paced race as he progressed through the field to finish in a superb 46:18 for 80<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> place. One of the runners he passed was Chris Mason, who continued his comeback with 83<\/span>rd<\/span><\/sup> place in 46:32, before Colin Mee stopped the clock in 47:48. Chris & Colin had the satisfaction of finishing first in their respective age groups. Tom Eyre battled well for his 49:29 with London Marathon bound Nigel Atkins a minute behind in 50:25.\u00a0 On chip times the hard working James Cobb was next in 53.08 before Caley Parnell, who has a double bill of half marathons planned for spring, showed that her training is going well as she finished in 53:10 for 25<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> place in the women\u2019s race.

Tracey showed that she is the most durable of athletes as the previous day she ran the 15 miles route of the Belvoir Challenge. Peter Barsby & Tim Argent continued their good early season form as they finished in 56.06 & 57:19 before Robin Thorne gained more valuable race experience as he stopped the clock in 61:06.
