Lancaster 5K - 30th July 2011

Results: http://ukroadraces.info/results/2011/lan53.htm

There was a quality field out for the 5K on Saturday evening. The front two both went under the 15 minute mark (Jorge Thomas; 14:43 and James Douglas; 14:59). The first lady was Caroline Betmead of Blackpool Wyre & Fylde.

Four Keswick lads travelled down. On a warm evening Josh Hebson bettered his 5K time at Cockermouth to record a PB of 16:32, finishing 12th. Lee Newton has set down a 5K marker, running his first race at the distance, crossing the finish at 19:28 and 36th overall.

Steve Hebblethwaite, despite his Snowdon exploits the week before, went very close to clocking a sub-16 minute effort finishing 16:02 and 7th place. I was chuffed to break 17 minutes and record my second fastest 5K time; 16:47 and 16th position.

The next 5K in Lancaster is on the 27th August and is the penultimate counter in the KAC Road Championship.
