W/E 17.02.2024 - Sue is our one and only! + EACCL R7

This week on our weekly review we look back at the single person running a race over the weekend – Sue Stirling . With no scheduled races taking place in Norfolk / on Total Race Timing; Sue took advantage of being out of the county to run the Winter Warmer Half Marathon in Sutton Park, Birmingham hosted by The Fix events - a hilly route with four laps for the fun of it! Sue finished in a time of 2:07:12 and 7th F50 home – well done Sue.

Elsewhere in the mid-week Cross country league we had 18 runners venture south for race 7 of the EACCL - East Anglian Cross Country League series from Chiltern Fields; the race hosted by Stowmarket Striders. The conditions underfoot are always prefect for XC enthusiast and the additional precipitation recently didn’t hurt this at all – a saturated mudfest was an accurate description for the perfect 💞Valentine’s Day💞 race for our XC captain Tony Beales. The ladies race was won by Alison Armstrong followed by Kate Gooding in 2nd place with Lisa Greengrass making up our ladies A-team trio. In the Mens race Matt Webster was first overall followed by Dave Houghton, Adam Baker and Will Parker making up our Mens A-team quartet.

We are hosting the next race in this seasons EACCL series from the Ladybelt Country Park, with a race start time of 2:30pm. We cannot wait to see the EACCL running community there for a brilliant afternoon of running – our XC captain would like to express his gratitude to Keith Blake for organising this event and we are anticipating a great day after all his blood, sweat & tears in getting this one organised over the last year.
