A beautiful summer evening for the second in the Bearwood trail series.
Part of the Croft Club handicap and right on our doorstep, means that this was again well supported by Croft runners.
It was welcome news that the wasps had been asked to vacate the route after last time and I really enjoyed this 2 lap 10k course around the farm with some great views and great company.
First runner to cross the finish was Sam J in 36.56 with Eric getting back to form after his injury improving his position from 5th last time to second this week.
It’s great to have Roxy back in the club and she celebrated with her first race for Croft in a long time by finishing first lady in 47.16. Jo Tilby finished third lady in 48.28 and is currently first lady in the series, 11th overall.
Special mention I think should go to Huw. Being chased down during the Chairmans challenge race only a week before obviously has helped his running and he was on fire for the first lap! He may have slowed down a bit for the second, but he managed to knock 4mins 46 seconds of his time – fantastic improvement in only 2 weeks!
Full results can be found on the ReadySetGo website. Croft Results below and thanks to Mike B and Thea for the photos below that.
