Stubbington Green Runners & AC

Sorry for the delay in a report, results now confirmed. Our Men took the honours here winning the team prize with Mark, Lewis and Wayne all in the top 10. It would have been 4 if Andy's knee had held up, so a top twenty place isn't bad when you are on one leg!!

Mark is getting back close to his very high standard after a long while out through injury, so great to see him battling it out with the leaders again. Lewis maintained his superb standard that brought him 2nd place overall in the HRRL, while the biggest improver must surely go to Wayne who smashed a couple of minutes off his best to be only 30 seconds behind Lewis!!

Dave again led our B team to their 7th win of the season, with a great time, and Graham, me and Ray completed the B team full of vets as usual! That may change next season as hot on our heels were Sam, Mark and Kev all ridicuously young and therefore improving all the time!

Talking of staying young, another fantastic effort from our webmaster. Mike may look a lot younger than me and the soon to be fifty guys (he so isn't!) but on age graded I doubt there are many quicker as he ran sub 7 min miles.

Mid race we had Phil, Matthew, John and a great run by David. Paul edged out Alan, again very close as it has been all season. I don't know if Robert managed a p.b here though I suspect it may have been, as with help from Rick he was miles under the hour and fittingly finished on a high having completed all the series. Great effort Robert.

The good news is that it looks like the ladies managed to hold onto 3rd place in Div 1 which is fantastic as the standard is so high, so an excellent season. Here we did struggle with Tina the only lady under 50 mins, which is just natural ability as her training has been almost non existent recently. This gives her 12th place in Hampshire in her first season!!

Just over the 50 mins were a couple of youngsters, Lucy was unwell and I believe pulled out of the Tri in the afternoon, and Naomi had a good run to close our A team. Great to see Jane back racing again and still running strongly, and Donna will improve even more as I usually see her at training or an RR10, so this will pay off with quicker times next season. Ann was just ahead of Rick and Robert whilst Kathryn was close behind, but a special mention to Sandra who had a strong finish to just get under the hour and finish 3rd in her age category. Mike Harper.
