Race 2 - Run Northumberland Half Marathon – Sun 10th March 2013

Early morning start on a bitterly cold day - things can only get better. Not so, by the time we got picked up by the park-and-ride buses in Ponteland, a snow blizzard had struck! Simple matter then of queuing up for numbers (getting numb-er(?)) and trying to stay warm until the start. Next problem - we were all on the start line but facing the wrong way. Sorted and off we set. Extremely cold, very windy and a course that was described as 'lumpy'. Not sure how they managed it but a circular route, into the wind most of the way and with more uphill than downhill.

 

With four finishers in the top 25 this was a good race for Blyth, first back was Jake in 18th, closely followed by Lee Cuthbertson (19th), Peter Brown (21st) and Jon French (24th).  First Blyth lady back was Heather Christopher in 110th place overall.  An amazing 13 of our runners recorded half marathon pb's.

 

The official results are still a little incomplete, so the results below and Grand Prix tables are the best we can do at the minute, if anyone can fill in the blanks or spot any mistakes please let me know asap. so that the tables can be corrected.
