Aerospace 5M - 2nd July

After a scorching few days, a five mile race did not seem the most attractive thing to do, but Bourton Roadrunners, undeterred, ran for valuable club points at the Aerospace 5M Race from Smiths' Rugby Club around Bishops Cleeve last Thursday. After running the Hilly Half just 5 days before, quite a few had tired legs, but still gave strong performances.

Dennis Walmsley, 2nd in the race and first male 40, was delighted with his time of 27:38, with Mike Smith just one minute behind in 28:37 4th and 2nd M40. Ever improving Lewis Gray made up the team in 13th place overall and first junior in a personal best time of 30:03.

Steph Lane had a good run for 2nd lady place in 30:20, as did Ewen Smith 31:22 and Ian Shoemark 32:17.

Beth Pudifoot finished 4th lady and 1st Junior Lady in 33:15, chased by a fast closing Brittany Teague in 33:30. The 3 afore mentioned ladies made up the winning team.

Sarah Harper in 6th lady place and 1st LV35 recorded 34:00, with Justin Launchbury 34:06. Norm Lane had a good run for 35:27 and 2nd V60, with John Gibson going for top V55 club points in 35:42. Tony Goodwill, coming back from injury, clocked a time of 36:52, followed by Niamh Shoemark 37:19, Roger Woodley 37:37, Robert Humphris 38:04, Eddie Rozier 39:07, Shirley Creed 39:52, Chris Bence 39:52, Simon Rutherford 40:13, Susan Hunt 40:20, Conor Shoemark 40:24, Lynn Hudson 41:05, Lynn Spedding 43:42 and Bert Jess 47:08.

Kingham 12K - 4th July

Dennis Walmsley, who always goes well on lots of races, kept the momentum going by racing the Kingham 12K the following Saturday, where he was the clear winner, clocking a time of 42:12.
