A set of huge PB’s for Steve & Michelle Hopkins, with Steve taking nearly a minute off the PB he set at race 2 of this series last month, making nearly a 2 minute improvement over the season. Michelle meanwhile took 1:21 off her best time, and with Paul and Brent both running their best times of the year I think that counts as a successful evening. Congratulations.

Rosie Delaney took part in the Wycombe 10k on Sunday, finishing in 51:38 and 88th place.

Zoe Kubiak and Jackie Stallwood ran the last of this 5k series, finishing in 28:26 and 29:59 respectively. Meanwhile, Gillian Richards ran the 10k finishing in 55:50.

Jackie Stallwood ventured over Reading way for the fairly lumpy (and warm) Toad Hall 10k. She finished 201st (and 3rd in the Ladies 50+ category) in a time of 1:11:48.

5 dashers completed the 2^nd of the Yateley 10k Series last night (results from Yateley website below). Huge turnout – almost 1000 runners. PB’s for both Steve and Rosie!

Jackie Stallwood ran the 5k, finishing in a time of 29:20 and 35th position, whilst Huw Thomas ran the 10k in 49:49 for 73rd place.

Warm conditions, but still some excellent performances, including a new MV60 club record for Tony Curtin and an MV70 record for Jim Butcher.

Congratulations to Michael Hill and Tony Curtin who are now the MV50 & MV60 Berkshire 10k Champions.

Brent says: There used to be a group of Dashers at this race but now it seems I am our sole representative. Strange when it’s such a lovely course and 3 races on the first Wednesday of June/July/August to test your summer speed on. Bit of a drive but worth it. If anyone wants to join me you can enter online or on the day and I am happy to give lifts leaving at 6.15pm. Very pleased with 44.15 just 10 days after a marathon.

The results seems to be a little bit all over the place on the official website at the moment, so may need correcting later, but in the meantime…

If you also took part in this event please let us know and we’ll add you in.

Zoe Kubiak ran the 5k event completing the course in 28:02 for 34th place, whilst Huw Thomas ran the 10k distance finishing in 50th position with a time of 48:21, a full 5 minutes faster than last year!

Congratulations to Chris for his return to racing from injury.

A couple of club results from the race, including a new MV70 record for Rachhpal Bath

First run on the new and improved Shinfield course, but strong winds in the 6th & 9th kilometres cost at least 20 - 30 seconds which took the edge off the times a little. Still a new PB for David & fastest Dasher recorded times for Tom & Elaine however.
