Bristol & West, Elswick and Mansfield among the winners at a Windy Mallory Park on Saturday
The M35 and W55 of Bristol, W45s of Elswick and Mansfield’s M45s retained their titles in a Mallory park whipped by the wind when the relay of the veterinarians managed to compete against the cacophony and multiple laps directed by competitors.
The same place also saw Livingstone’s open relays held on the same laps for several age groups and their veteran careers competed with the British teachers for the tickets and had 20 master’s degree teams for men and 24 women competing before the BMAF events and had the maximum veteran Gemma Steel presenting their awards.
Men
The older men of Bristol house in a roll that fits the winter concluding with their victory in the 12 -stage national relay in Sutton Park in April and here, the age group of the younger veterinarians added to the trophies closet, which they said he was exploding in the seams.
After winning the first circuit up and down three miles from the six -stage event of the M35 age group, through the 15:20 series of David Awde, they retained their title after leading through the time.
Awde said: “I had to go to the hill and I am pleased to have read for the 5 km international event.”
It was a quite tight leg of the first leg, since Eatons William Lun-Pigula recovered from a slower beginning than some, to bring to his club the second most open, at 15:26, but neither they nor any sale of Silver-Medallist had answers. Answers. Answers. Answers.
They ended with the fastest Ben Robinson’s career 14:21.
Robinson, who was a member of the 12-stage winning team, said: “That was good and 12-13 seconds faster than last year.”
It was then that he anchored his club 12 months before.
It was the sale, although who had the following faster runners, since Nigel Martin was the second best, but was made in a sad persecution of Robinson in that last layman. They also had the third timer faster as the touch of Nicholas Barry in the mid -race 15:13 the closest to the front, but it was Bristol who had the most balanced team.
Mansfield Harriers also retained its title, this time in the M45 Four Stage event, then Bailey and the fastest age group Dan Nugent gave them a solid start. They lost ground in the second half of the event when City of Leeds closed, but the victory was his in 11 seconds in the line.
The first distance race had been that for the over 55 men and the Phoenix club in Brighton the winners were exhausted, but had to come from behind when John Walton reappeared in the fastest age group return for Leeds, with a division of 16:55. This came in the first leg, when Matthew Robinson de Bristol followed him home for a second 17:09 faster.
Walton said about the wind: “It’s the same for everyone,” Robinson added: “It was horrible.”
Steve Atkinson went to Phoenix’s head in the middle of the race and said: “I caught it in the hill with a half mile to travel.”
However, and with a better balanced team, Phoenix later continued in the leg three and ended with the multi-world athletics medalist Adrian Haines to claim victory over Leeds. Bristol intervened with Phil Parry, whose 17:15 was the third best, but they had lost the ground halfway.
Oxford City led through the M65 race after the opening of Brian Green 19:49 was judged faster and Thames Hare & Hounds managed to complete a M75 trio.
There were problems with the results of the day such as the link between the time chips time, the open track, and the BMAF left much to be desired and there are still some holes, but the athletics weekly gathered a result obtained from composite sources.
