Road Running

High Legh 10k (road counter #2)
Sunday saw our 2nd road counter of the season with 8 green vests toeing the start line at High Legh. Over to Gaz O’Connor for a full match report:
“The Cheshire village of High Legh was the venue for the 2nd Helsby road racing club counter. The forcasted bad weather and high winds failed to materialize and runners set off along the mostly flat course in dry conditions with only the occasional gust of high wind.
Colin Bishop was first Helsby male runner to finish, managing 7th place overall, with Jane Ashbrook first Helsby female, also 7th in the ladies race. PBs were recorded by Ade Jackson, Gary O’Connor and Adam Gordon with Jo Farwell, ably paced by Donna Geer, also taking nearly a minute off her course PB.
High Legh 10K is a small, friendly, well organized race run on a fast course with plenty of PB potential and I’d definitely recommend people give it a try if they get the chance. Also thank you to Joe and Mario for their support!”
Well done Gaz and all who took part.

Port Sunlight 10k
Ivan was out for the BTR Port Sunlight 10k on Sunday and was flying solo for the green vests. Although he forgot his vest he still shouted the war cry of “Green Army!” much to the bemusement of the other runners! He certainly made it count though, storming around the course to a sub 38 minute time and new PB. Massive well done Ivan!

Upcoming races and reminders
Races
Sun 8 MAR. 11am
Name: Borders League Race #4
Where:
Ffrith Beach Arena, Victoria Road West,
Prestatyn, Denbighshire, LL19 7AR
Further Details: With the mens team so close to promotion it would be nice to get a good turn out for this. The Green Army needs you! Car sharing is usually from the club house, please check our Facebook page for updates.
20 Mile TT
Sat 14 MAR. 7am (group 1) 10am (group 2)
Where:
Silverdale Park, Station Ln, Mickle Trafford, Chester, CH2 4TA
Details: Similar in concept to the 10k time trial we hold each month, this will be a 20 mile timed run from Mickle Trafford to Shotton and back using the Millennium Greenway cycle route. This is tailored for those doing spring marathons, but anybody is welcome to have a go and you can turn back at any point along the route if 20 miles is too much. The course is flat and traffic free and we will have a lead bike, tail runner and marshall so nobody will get left behind. All times will be recorded and uploaded to the blog.
The run will be split into 2 groups:
7amGroup 1 (sub 3 hour pace) – there are a small number of runners in the club aiming for the magical sub 3 hour mark. This group will cater for those who wish to run at 6:50 min miles or faster.
10amGroup 2 (any pace) – this is the main event and this group will cater for any pace and is inclusive of all abilities.
More details to follow.
Cheers
Colin
