The last English Championship counter, a short sprint in the Peak District... 8 Keswick ladies and 4 Keswick men made the journey to Glossop for the 5.9mile/1500ft race to fly the Keswick AC flag.
And what a day it was. Perfect conditions (dry and breezy(!)). The ladies set off first at 11.15am followed by the mens race at 12pm.
To summarize Steve Heb slaughtered the opposition to post 8th, his best ever performance in such a competitive field. Ian Davies also had a cracking run with his best ever English ranking to date. Chris Clarke & Q Merritt (on his maiden championship voyage with an impressive knee injury sustained on the descent) both stormed home to the cheers of the over excited Keswick AC Ladies (relieved their race was over).
Cat Evans also posted a superb 15th position, with Helen Winskill chasing close behind in 16th. Julie Carter claimed 18th, followed closely by Holly Williamson, Jo Gillyon, Sarah Bailey, Kim Clarke and Siobhan Brewer. Well done to all the girls and a massive thank you for such a great turn out.
