7 runners from South Derbyshire Road Runners AC were amongst the 900 plus starters for the 17th\u00a0running of the Lichfield 10k. In very hot conditions Andy Hawtin warmed up for the forthcoming\u00a0Leicester Marathon with a superb 19th place finish in 39.20. In cooler conditions and on a less undulating\u00a0course Andy looks well capable of improving his PB’s over most distances by considerable margins. Chris\u00a0Mason was next to finish in a slightly disappointing 41.32 but this was good enough for 42 nd place in a\u00a0very big field and the 2nd V55 prize overall.
\nThe Club performance of the day though was from Christina\u00a0Cooper who ran brilliantly for 46.05 for 131st place overall and 8th place in the women’s race. After a\u00a0good performance in last Wednesday’s Club Prediction Race Christina is another, who, with a bit more\u00a0confidence and experience, could improve considerably in the coming months, particularly over the\u00a0shorter distances. The next three to finish all managed to secure top 300 places with Dan Towns (49.27)\u00a0leading the way from Kelly Knight (50.19) and Trevor Rickman (51.14). Felicity Towns completed the\u00a0finishers for the Club with a hard run 69.17.
\nWith only 2 more 2012 Club Championship races to go, Shelton Striders 10k on 7 th October and the\u00a0Shepshed 7 early in November there are a number of members who need to do one or both of these\u00a0races to qualify for this year’s Championship. Check the up to date tables to see whether you are in this\u00a0position and lets have a good competitive end to the season.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
