Norton 9

Posted on Sunday, 01 March 2009 09:22PM by JH

The senior's got their Grand Prix off to a good start at the Norton 9 this weekend. The bright sunny day with a gentle wind made for ideal conditions on the undulating 9mile course.

The London training is obviously paying off for our marathon runners with our first 5 finishers all building up to the big day in the capitol on 26^th April.

First home for the club was David Havenhand (89^th, 60:15) followed by:
Tracey West (124^th, 7^th lady, 63:03),
Philip Harrop (125^th, 63:07),
Craig Cooper (169^th, 66:05),
Peter Fendley (184^th, 66:54),
Peter Fendley (211^th, 68:18) – Yes that man again! He appears to have finished twice in the hope of double GP points! A steward’s inquiry ensues!!
David Ward (220^th, 69:07),
Jimmy Kelly (235^th, 70:22),
Adel Bryan (263^rd, 71:44),
Sally Bannister (323^rd, 75:51),
Helen Eastland (379^th, 80:05),
Julie Bonser (380^th, 80:05).
There were 510 finishers.

Lauren Ward (aged 11) excelled in the 5km Fun Run finishing 3^rd girl in 24:30 followed by Sophie Bonser (30:12).

The next race in the senior’s Grand Prix is the Retford Half Marathon, at the Retford Rugby Club on 22^nd March.
