Another good turnout from SLH this morning with 20 starters and 19 finishers at the Surrey 10k road championships over at Ham.
Some good performances, notably Bill running a PB for the second week in a row and finally breaking the 40 minute barrier. Ian Kitching again won the V60 prize and the County Championship medal. Glen and I had a great tussle on the course but had to settle for 2nd and 3rd Vet 50s this time with the win going to a very young looking Norwegian from Belgrave. Our vets strength is well illustrated if you order the results on age grading; we were comfortably first team home although the overall winner was the same. Geoff Newton would have been 3rd.
General consensus at the finish was that the conditions weren't ideal with quite a strong breeze blowing and most people running slower times than at Sutton despite the course being theoretically quicker.
My disappointment at just losing out to Glen was compounded when I got in the refreshment queue and saw two large slabs of cake on a plate and only two people in front of me - they both proceded to buy them and that was it. Not my day so far so hope it gets better tonight.
Thanks to Richard for his support on the course and looking forward to seeing the banana photograph.
