Severn AC Autumn 5 miles - 15 September

Dennis Walmsley celebrated his recent 50th birthday with some brilliant results in readiness for the Snowdonia Marathon in October.

He ran a particularly fast 5 mile at the White Horse in 27:45, the 3rd-fastest vet 50 in the UK as well as breaking the club record and finishing 5th overall in the race and 1st vet 50.


Bristol Half Marathon – 30th September

Two weeks later Dennis was at it again with a superb run at the Bristol Half Marathon in 1 hour 15 minutes 44 seconds. He managed to run a strong and even paced race which gave him yet another club record, 1st vet 50 and 4th fastest time for a vet 50 in the UK this year.

Club mate Ed Rozier completed yet another half marathon (over 100 now) in 2:03:15.


Cirencester 10 – 23rd September

At the Cirencester 10km it was our ladies who took centre stage with some inspired running. After her Guernsey Marathon success, Shona Crombie-Hicks was determined to perform over the shorter distance and did so as 2nd lady and 1st vet 35 in 38:36.

Darren Long continues to impress with his results in 39:28, with Lucy Walmsley 2nd vet 35 in a creditable 39:44, despite illness. New member Brendan Caragher looks to be a great form in 41:19. Steph Lane had yet another solid performance in 42:06, leading our ladies home to the 1st team prize.

It is good to see Nigel Frith improving with each race after long term injury in 44 minutes, closely followed by Rob Humphris in 44:23. David Pyne is making steady progress in 47:48, with consistent Gill Carrick in 48:42. Steph Holton, also suffering with illness, did well to break 50 minutes, in 49:21.

Ever-young Norm Lane, who celebrated his 69th birthday recently, continues to impress, with little training as he cruised in with a time of 50:25.

Shirley Creed is on the comeback trail and was happy with 52:25 as was Lynn Hudson in 54:18.
