One would think that with the amount of racing last week that we would be having a rest but our brilliant members are always pounding the pavements and trails of Somerset and beyond and this week is no exception.
5 red and white clad runners ventured out to take on the Martock 10km and enjoy the sun with a local race. First over the line for a pb was Andrew Saunders (38:48), followed by Ray Tutton (42:59), next in were Don MacPhail (46:58) and Richard Mackrory (51:39), with Daniel Delvin (1:11) bringing the club home.
We were also represented at another 10k this time down in deepest Devon by Louise Mills who had what looks like a great time running the Plymouth 10k, well worth it for the delight of the finishing the race next to the iconic Smeaton’s Tower!
Meanwhile, we were also on Exmoor, where Chris Gunn bested the Exmoor Preprambulations course to finish in 7:40, a great achievement on a challenging 30-miler.
Midweek saw the Town tree trail and a tremendous 12 runners decend upon the race for what looked to have been a hot but enjoyable Somerset Series event.
For the regular report readers Georgina Brice needs no introduction, she is one of the 100 marathon club and as a result it would be understandable to expect to hear about a marathon…nope, Georgina took part in the Centaur 100-miler, 100x 1-mile laps! Legs begin to ache at those mere words but she only went and did it, finishing the event in (31.44) a great showing of grit and determination for sure.
Our fine RFRC athletes aren’t just amazing runners though…oh no.
We also had two members completing the West Bay Triathlon, Simon Rowland (1.47) and Helen Prescott (1.55). Meanwhile Liz Williams cycled the Dartmoor classic.
Well done to all our members this week and we cannot wait to see the amazing feat’s that you get up to next!
