After the London Marathon, it was back to local North Staffs Road Running Association (NSRRA) action on May 1st with the Uttoxeter Half Marathon.
11 Bats lined up in the cold windy conditions to tackle the very undulating course that goes out of Uttoxeter via the scenic country lanes to Marchington before circling back with what feels like only one downhill at mile 12.
1st in for the club was Paul Swan in a fantastic 1:21:21 who also claimed a prize for second Vet Male 50 (M50), closely followed by Tim Hulse in 1:29:43. 1st Lady home was Amy Gamble in 1:36:06 (1st F40) with Paul Phillips knocking over 2 and ½ minutes off his PB close behind in 1:36:34 and then Kirsty Stephenson 1:36:46 (2nd F35). Kevin Uzzell was next in 1:38:57 (1st M65), Richard Shaw 1:50:51, Anne Marie Mountford 1:54:07, Bonnie Seabridge 2:04:44 (PB), Tim Clegg 2:08:59 (PB) amd MArgarate Shaw 2:17:11 (1st F60).
Slightly further afield Anne and David Griffiths tackled the Keswick Half Marathon which was labelled as ‘Probably the toughest 13.1 miles you’ll ever do!’
Anne came home in 2:26 and David in 2:24.
The ladies were also 3rd team overall. Excellent performances all round.
