Race
The 2012 Grand Prix season started with a bang for the ladies at
the Snake Lane 10 mile at Pocklington, York on Sunday 26th Feb. Heather Christopher, Susanne Hunter and
Phillippa Baxter all put in tremendous performances to give Blyth the first
Ladies Team prize - well done girls.
With
a light win and a pleasant temperature conditions were good for running,
demonstrated by pb's for Dave Bradley, Heather Christopher, Hayley Masterman
(by 3 mins), Phillippa Baxter (over 5 mins) and Heather Barrass (by an
incredible 9 mins). Ian Baxter was on
course for a substantial pb after 3 miles but unfortunately had started a
little too fast and was overtook by his wife with a mile to go, good news
though Ian - you beat everyone to the bar!
It was
also good to see a number of newer members and a couple of the older juniors
racing over 10 mile for the first time, well done Dave Potts, Martin Scott,
Dawn Phillips, Jake Jansen, Calum Storey and Leon Savage.
Jake
had a superb debut over 10 mile, recording 63:15 to finish as first Blyth
runner home and gain maximum points in his first ever Grand Prix race. Michael Butters was second back for Blyth,
with Heather Christopher third. Heather
finished 11th lady overall and was awarded the fifth placed prize, there were
also third placed prizes for Susie and Cath Young in their respective age
categories.
Many
thanks to the supporters who travelled down to cheer the runners on and to Mal
for organising the bus.
