Wellington 10
IT was hot, it was hilly, it was the Wellington 10-mile race in deepest Somerset.
Dave King headed for the west country to take part in the popular race which starts and finishes in the town just outside of Taunton.
“I never knew Somerset had so many hills,” said Dave. “The course was a stinker with some pretty severe and long climbs. The hot weather didn’t make it any easier. This wasn’t a personal best course.”
Dave finished 106th from a field of 257 runners with a time of 1hr 17min 57sec. Tom Merson from South West Road Runners crossed the finish line at Wellington Rugby Club first in 55min 1sec, while Sarah Urwin-Mann from Team Bath AC was the leading lady in 23rd place overall with 1:04.15.
