Adrian Holliday of Tipton won the Senior Men's event with a strong run in heavy conditions posting 29:59 for the 9K over four laps. He has now been County Champion at u/11, u/13, u/15, u/17, u/20, and Senior, and will head a strong Cumbria team at the Intercounties at Birmingham's Cofton Park in March. He was followed by James Douglas (Border Harriers) in 30:33 and Ricky Lightfoot (Ellenbrough AC) in 31:11.
In the Senior Women's race over three laps of the same course Pippa Maddams gave an equally dominant display of running to win in 26:52 from Claire McKeown (Border Harriers) in 27:52 and Rhiannon Silson (Border Harriers) who clocked 29:07. Cumbria has not managed to field a full senior women's team for the Intercounties every year in recent years, and it would be nice to see them do so in 2012. Runners from Keswick AC would be certain to feature in this team.
Keswick AC won the team competition in the Senior Women, with Pippa, Sam Ayers (31:15), and Trudy Beetham (31:37) making up the scoring team. Well done to those, and to all the Keswick AC members who put themselves on the line yesterday.

Steve - how come you get the same time as Kevin Bell when the video shows you were clearly ahead of him? Oh, and by thwe way, good run!
I'm not really sure. I would say that Kev was probably as far behind me as hae was ahead again of Pete Harrison. Maybe 5 seconds or so, but in fairness to them the timekeepers had a difficult job given the foul conditions.
