Wimborne 10 - 19th November 2006
MIKE BAINBRIDGE enjoyed a spot of Dorset hospitality when he took part in the Wimborne 10.
Fantastic running conditions - crisp temperature, sun and not much wind produced a fast race and organisers received many compliments about the post-race tea and cakes.
The event featured the town cryer and the muskett man, and Mike got off to a flyer with 30th place in a time of 1hr 2min 28sec - average miling of 6min 14sec.
The race was won by Nigel Leighton from Bristol & West AC in a time of 52min 41sec.
A record total of 480 runners took part in the event which started and finished from the QE Leisure Centre and took runners on a scenic route through the Dorset countryside.
The leading lady was Lynda Faulkner from Dorset Doddlers who came 42nd overall in a time of 1:03.32.
