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.
