Race
2 - Coniston 14 – Sat 31st March 2012
The
second Grand Prix race of the 2012 season saw 21 Blyth runners and their family
and friends travel to Coniston for the very popular Coniston 14 (actually
13.875 Mile) road race. This was the
first time that this very scenic but extremely undulating race had been a part
of the Grand Prix. Fortunately for the
runners, but not so for the spectators, the recent bout of summer weather had
deserted us to leave sunny but cool conditions.
Although
an unusual distance, the organises kindly put out a marker at half marathon
distance which enabled Steve Dobby and Heather Barrass
to record half marathon pb's, good going on a tough
course and only a week after they both ran the Wallington half.
First
Blyth runner home in 42nd place was Robbie in a time of 1:29:20, and first
Blyth female (finishing 4th in her age category) was Heather Christopher in
1:40:08. A special mention also for
Susanne, who finished only a minute behind Heather and was 2nd in her age category,
which is good going considering that she had run a marathon just a week before.
A
note about the results; finishing positions and hence Grand Prix positions are
based on the "gun" time, the times shown are from the
"chip" times.

full results can be found HERE.
