Pollensa Half Marathon - 11th April 2010
Saturday, April 17th, 2010Tony Curtin Reports:
The dashers group that travelled to Majorca did Datchet Dashers proud winning 3 prizes in the prestigious Pollensa half marathon. The race, although in a small Majorcan Town, attracts runners from mainland Spain and boasted two European Champions one of who was also a World Champion and both 2 hr 08 min Marathon runners. Chema Martinez who will represent Spain at this years World Championships won the European 10000 mtrs in 2002 and Martin Fiz who in 1995 won the World athletics Championship Marathon and came 4th in the 1996 Olympic Marathon. Pride of place goes to Julie Humphries who won her age category, and also set a new Datchet Dashers FV35 age record. Joanne Griffiths came 3rd in her age category and I managed 2nd place in mine. Mandy came third in her age category but it did not qualify for a prize as it was part of the senior women age category.
