Retford Half Marathon

Posted on Tuesday, 25 September 2007 10:29PM by JH

The Retford Half Marathon was run in warm blustery conditions, not conducive to fast times.

Nevertheless Craig Argyle (19^th, 1:29:00) ran a good race to lead the Worksop Harriers home.

A staggering Dennis Learad (55^th, 1:38:37) nearly missed his dinner after falling into the eager clutches of two ambulance men – fingers crossed for the results of his urine sample!

Despite the conditions Dave Ward (75^th) battled round to finish in 1:42:18, just missing out on a PB.

The clubs only lady finisher was Sally Bannister (109^th, 1:48:15). While Helen Eastland, still recovering from the Mablethorpe weekend, dropped out after 7miles.

Philip Harrop (112^th, 1:48:52) had the benefit of a lie-in and made up good ground, after arriving after the race had started!

The rest of the Harriers finished as follows:
Peter Fendley (41^st, 1:35:47),
And Graham Sheen (149^th, 2:01:52).
There were 177 finishers.

Time is running out for runners wanting to take part in the Clumber 10km race, which takes place on Sunday 7^th October. This is race is ideal preparation for the Worksop Half marathon which takes place on Sunday 28^th October and both races look likely to see a record entry.
