Brief Race Report
Although there had
been heavy overnight rain, the weather conditions imporoved before competitiors
arrived at the starting line for the Isel Cross Multi-Terrain race on the
outskirts of Cockermouth. The cool and sunny weather made almost ideal
conditions for fast running, with Jackie Hargreaves competing for CFR setting a
new Ladies course record of 36:47. This was almost a minute faster than Tracy
Walker's winning time in 2005. There was a fine run from another Lady
competitor, Gay Eastoe from Woodend near Egremnot competing for Blengdale AC
(1st Lady Super Veteran in 46:34).
One of Gay's Blengdale
AC clubmates, Paul Curtis from Beckermet, was a clear winner in the Men's
Category, winning by almost 2 minutes in 34:00. In 2nd place, and 1st Veteran
Over 40, was Dave Atkinson from Blengdale AC (35:59), ahead of Gerard Mulgrew
of Ellenborough AC, whose time of 36:47 matched that of Jackie Hargreaves.
First Derwent AC finisher was Tony Davis (37:21) after sprinting away from
teammate Joe Ritson (37:31) towards the end. First Super Veteran (Over 50) was
Keith Thompson (Derwent AC) in a time of 38:11, with Noel Hakeman from Dallam
Running Club 1st Senior Veteran (Over 65) in 52:31.
The next Derwent
Athletic Club open event is the 'Lambfoot Loop', a 5.5 Mile Road Race to be
held at Cockermouth on Tuesday evening 18 April (Easter week) starting at
7.00pm. This is the first of four events in the ever-popular Derwent AC Grand
Prix Series.
