Winner in the senior ladies race was Susan Samme (Lytham St Annes RRC) -ranked 4th fastest V45 in the UK over 1500m this year and 17th over 10K, she made light work of the 6K course, clocking a time of 20:10. Keswick AC ladies were represented by Sam Ayers who ran a competitive race placing 16th, and 4th FV40 in a time of 22:40.
By the beginning of the mens race at 2.30pm the course was well cut up -already having seen half a dozen races, and conditions underfoot were dire making for an enjoyable and challenging 9K of running. Border Harrier James Douglas finished first, in a time of 30:29. Steve Hebblethwaite and Ian Davies were the only two male representatives from the club -Steve was pleased with a solid run in a time of 31:01 for 3rd, while Ian having a tough time of it with an injury to the foot, soldiered round for 57th in 36:30.

The Mid Lancs Series is a great competition with a far bigger field than the Cumbria Series. If you can make a future event, they are worth travelling to. Keswick AC isn't an affiliated club and as such, you'll have to pay £2 to enter the race on the day, which I'm sure you'll agree is an absolute bargin!
The range of abilities is vast, so don't be put off if you're a steadier runner.
I would second that comment -well worth travelling for.
I will be going down to the fixture at Witton Park, Blackburn next weekend if anyone wants a carshare -depart Keswick about 10.00am.
