Ulverston 10k

It was a warm, mostly sunny evening - ideal for fast running on a flattish course. Two KAC members made the longish trip south for the race: Phil Winskill and Quentin Merritt. We had planned to run the first 5 miles together and then blast it from there. But Phil forgot his side of the bargain and went off fast from the start. He was at or near the front for most of the way, and was rewarded with 2nd place and an excellent PB; dipping under 33 mins for the first time (32:57). The race was won by Steve Littler of Wesham RR in 32:34, with Iain Quinn of Barrow & Furness Striders 3rd in 33:03. Joanne Taylor won the women's race in 39:14, while Quentin showed some signs of a return to form after a difficult summer with a time of 41:26 for 51st place. There were 189 finishers.

The full results aren't out yet but should appear here in due course.
