CONISTON FELL RACE – 9m/3500ft

Ian Williams was our first counter on this very tough up and down course running 1.35.53 for 92nd place, then as previously mentioned Suzanne Budgett and Pete Walkington both clocked the same time 1.40.47 for 124/125th places with fourth lady and first 0/45 for Suzanne. Rachel Metcalfe despite going over on her ankles a couple of times finished in 194th place and a time of 1.52.24. Mark Sammon must have found the course tough but did great for his 2.14.59 and 268th place.

STUC A CROIN. 14m/5000ft

Only two Harriers made the trip to this British Championship counter, with Dave Milliken having a great run in 22nd (2.19.43) and James Kevan running well off current training for 50th and 2.33.23. The course was typical Scottish terrain with little in the way of good running with James going over on his ankle twice.
