Club Report – Sunday 30th December 2018

Too many selection boxes and too many germs in Chateau Cavillator and too many races to report. So it’s less talk and more action this week.

As promised last week, here’s the Harrier results from the Leg It Hazelbank 5 Mile Xmas Run on 23rd. Seems a long time ago now!
Alan Ladd 30:08PB, Joe Mathers 31:27, Ramunas Stanevicius 32:33, Aidy Hughes 40:25, Galina Stanevicius 43:35, Joanne Milne 48:15, Claire McCann 51:50, Stephen Weir 51:51, Louise Ladd 53:20, Freda Stubbs 57:00, Mairead O’Hare 57:21 Zoe O’Prey 1:18:00

Big thanks to Prof Ladd for letting me know about the shortcut by date – no need now to post any New Year results on Team App (unless they’re brill and you’re all proud of yourself. In that case, work away).

Mairead O’Hare completed the EAMS Carrickfergus Half Marathon in 2:39:56PB. Well done Mairead, all that training and XC is definitely paying off!

So here’s hoping you had a great 2018. We’ll meet again in 2019. Let’s hope it’s healthy, happy and full of PBs.
Happy new year!

Until next week, behave.
