Spa Striders Running Club - Shakespeare Raceways 10k 21/11/2009

Once underway the course took runners away from the shelter of the start and into the openness of Long Marston airfield. The route crossed the airstrip giving ample opportunity to see fellow Striders, and it was slightly comforting to see others finding the conditions tough going. For me personally, ‘hiding’ behind fellow runners (not Strideres) on the headwinds seemed to help – still not too sure if this is entirely fair and if there should be any shame attached to this tactic!

First Strider home and in overall 7th place was Mike Ellis in 35:58, followed by Trevor Wilkinson in a PB of 38:17, also PB for Richard Brangwin 39:28. First lady Strider home for maximum points in the Championship was Carolyn Wilkinson in 41:08 and finishing an impressive 1st F35.
