Brampton to Carlisle 10 Mile
After a slightly more relaxed start to the day compared to recent races such as the Mansfield National Cross Country Relays and the Manchester Northern Road Relays, (although not for Colin and Angela who ‘allegedly’ were out drinking the previous night so slept in and missed the bus) the runners left just after 8:30am for Brampton.
Tommy Brannon demonstrates his Shoe Lace Skills
After many attempts to take a team photo failed, as it crossed with warm-ups and pre-race toilet stops, the team, which had large numbers of people in it – a brilliant 36, got to the start line, a gruelling 10 mile run ahead of them. Many described it as perfect conditions since there was a breeze on their back and it was quite warm. Tommy Brannon stated ‘it was the most enjoyable 10 mile race he’d done’ and Huw Parry, who was running here for the fourth consecutive year, told me that ‘it’s a fast, mostly flat course with a little hill as you near Carlisle’ and Louise Hayes mentioned that ‘it was all very well organised throughout the race’.
It was a hugely successful day with prizes picked up left, right and centre, the first of which was Guy Bracken, Stephen Hall and Greg Penn, who were 4th men’s team and second VETS team. Guy Bracken was absolutely sensationally 30 seconds off the world record, (I’m sure he will let you know this himself!).
Next, was Carla Maley who running a huge PB was 8th fastest female, Louise Hayes 10th fastest and both picking up 1st in their age category. The duo then went on to win the ladies team prize, with Michelle Thompson, and they added first VETS to their superb collection on the day. Aside from the prize winners, every runner did exceptionally well all achieving wonderful times, well done team (results below).
Vaughan Hemy our Club Captain who was unfortunately absent said ‘what a day, why do I always miss them!!’
Up the Poly!
