St Albans Summer 10K

It was surprisingly warm and humid for Sunday morning’s 10K race in St Albans.  It was mostly on a surfaced former railway line with the potential for some very fast times.

LEE PIROTH had a great run with a new personal best (PB) of 55:39.  He was surprised as it was a very hot race!  Lee said it was a great little race with a super cool medal

stalbans10k2019After recent mishaps JIM BROWN was very happy to finish a 10K without too much twanging and yonging.  Negative split but sensible enough not to try to chase down a few in the last 400 metres.  He was third man 60 plus in 52 minutes 9 seconds.

ASHLEY KING was fastest of the ten Spartans.  She was sixth senior woman in 42 minutes 23 seconds.  Ashley was 46th out of nearly 500 finishers.

At 72nd DANNY SCANLON was the fastest Spartan man in 44:13 and JOHN ROXBOROUGH made the top 100 at 93rd in 45:21.
