\t\t\t\tOn Sunday morning 10 runners from South Derbyshire Road Runners tuned out to\u00a0run the Shelton Striders 10k race.
\nThis was formerly known as the Merrill 10k and\u00a0was largely run on the old course with the start and finish now on he canal path.
\nLeading home was a fast improving Andy Hawtin in a time of 38m01s for a very fine\u00a0placing of 24th. Next home not far behind was Vet 55 Colin Mee, 42nd in 39m48s. This\u00a0position secured Colin the 1st Male in the Vet 55 category.
\nFollowing Colin home\u00a0was Steve Leafe who despite suffering from a slight cold can be pleased with his\u00a0race, 67th in 42m 38s.There then followed a good battle between the next 3 club runners\u00a0with Christina Cooper just edging the battle, 91st and 45m08s. Christina’s performance was\u00a0good enough for her to finish 6th lady overall in a competitive field and bodes well for\u00a0the future.
\nFollowing closely behind was Gary price in a new PB 96th 45m 16s who\u00a0just edged out the club chairman Malcolm Moore 98th 45m 20s. However Malcolm\u00a0was pleased to finish 2nd overall in the male Vet60 category. These 3 runners can\u00a0look forward to some tough battles ahead between each other.
\nTrevor Rickman 143rd\u00a048m52s was pleased with his improved time. Vet lady Inge Moore again put in a solid\u00a0performance and was rewarded with a good time. She finished 217th 53m 40s. Tim Argent was next\u00a0home, 283rd in 60m47s and with some more good training can look to better his time\u00a0considerably.
\nNow a special mention for our club secretary Roger Barraclough who\u00a0despite his recent health problems continues to be an inspiration to us all with his\u00a0sheer delight and exuberance for his running 321st 71m37s.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
