Keswick Women Win Again!

Keswick women won the team prize at Trimpell 20 Sunday 4th March with the team consisting of the following:
  • Sam Ayers (2.23.55, 5th)
  • Hazel Davies (2.28.09)
  • Angela Armstrong (2.34.23)
  • Siobhan Brewer (2.48.01)

David Harrison was the sole representative for the men in 2.44.37.

The winner was Andy Norman in 1:49:04. (5.30min/mile) and the first woman was Treena Johnson in 2:15:19 (6.45 min/mile). Treena is a V50, in fact the all the top 5 women's places were vets.

Unusually for a small race, it was four to count for the team. We're all training for marathons and on schedule for our target times. Hazel, Siobhan and myself all used the race to practice our marathon pace. The plan was to do the first 4 miles at a easy building to steady pace then the remaining 16 at marathon pace.

Don't forget... next spring, we're looking to get as many women runners on the startline at the London Marathon. Championship Start, Good for Age Start and Mass Start... it doesn't matter where you're at, the more the merrier.

Keswick Men... how about joining us?
