This was a successful day for the Harriers, particularly for the women. Helen Martin won the combined competition (comprising the half and 10K) in a total time of 2:38:57, having set a new PB in the half by some 8 minutes and having less than 25 minutes to recover before the 10K. For this she won a ten pound Boots gift voucher and, clearly not one to let success go to her head, said afterwards that she would probably spend it on "shampoo and Tampax"! The half marathon also saw a fine debut run by Mick Holmans on what is quite a tough course.
In the 10K, the Harrier women's team of Sarah May, Emma Hodges and Carol Reid won the 10K prize with Sarah and Emma both smashing their PBs. Mike Conway also put in a good run, being the leading vet 50.
To round things off, Jack Parnell dominated the 4K Fun Run, comfortably seeing relegating a senior Invicta runner to second place.
