Race report

This race has a reputation for throwing the worst of the weather at runners each year but it seemed that this year would be different, apart from a heavy shower on arrival the clouds parted and it was a pleasant 8 degrees.  Wisdom is a fine thing though and it was Richard Westcott who warned of a strong headwind for the exposed 4 miles at the end and boy was he right.  Despite that the Strugglers put in some strong performances, Paul Cooke came an impressive 15th overall and Lucy Goodman got another prize for her ever growing trophy cabinet as 3rd lady.  Paul, Lucy and Chris Murrin all had PBs for the race.  Richard Westcott was 2nd in his age group and ex-Struggler Derek Page was first in his.
