135 runners crossed the finish line this morning at Staplehurst , 42 in 5k and 93 in the 10k race.
Michael and I did the 10k and what started as a nice race on quiet countryside roads took an unexpected turn somewhere after 7 k when 3 of the leaders ( no2, 3 and 4) decided to go to Marden as there was a unmarked and unmarshalled crossroads (where I was a bit confused too) and that made 3 fine runners who ran the race at half of my time to finish it the last .
Position 15 Michael Russell 00:47:42 M55 Cat Pos 2
Position 90 Smaranda Dranga 01:19:36 F45 Cat pos 13
Cheers
