60 metres to 70 kilometres.

Elaine Ledden, Simon Curran, Dave Wilson and Paula Williams at Sportcity for the Manchester Indoor Meeting last Sunday. This past week has been pretty successful as far as our club members are concerned. Last weekend saw Ben Kruze and Matt Burdus-Cook finish 1st and 2nd respectively at the Windsor Winter Lake 10k and Alex Adams was victorious at the Fladbury 5. Both Ben and Alex were comfortable winners with winning margins of 2.23 and 2.15 respectively. Alex continued his excellent start to 2022 by finishing 1st in Wednesday's Shakespeare race. There is a link to the results of Wednesday's Shakespeare Race further on in the newsletter. At the local parkruns Ned Campbell was victorious on Saturday and on Sunday Alfie Musk just pipped Albert Bettles on the line to win the junior parkrun for the 2nd successive week. In both races the first female members to finish were also club members, with Georgie Campbell on Saturday and Jasmine Mothershaw on Sunday. Four of our Masters athletes made the trip to Sportcity in Manchester to compete in an early season indoor event. For Elaine Ledden and Simon Curran it was their first venture at an indoor track. Tara Lambert started off '22 doing what she does, competing in a hilly, wet and windy ultra. This time it was the 43.8 mile (70k) County to Capital race, involving running from Wendover to London Paddington! Words fail me. A huge well done Tara. Good luck to all of our XC teams this weekend, young and not so young. Indeed good luck to all of you who are racing. Take care Best wishes David Jones.
