Essex 5000m Track Championship

We had three club members at this track championship.

Damien Walsh – 17:54

Stephen Sawyer – 19:03

Leo Cole 19:51

 

Vitality 10,000m

Damien Walsh continued his excellent running form, completing this 10k at Hatfield Park with a PB in 36:31.

 

Gosfield Aquabike

Andy Notley was at Gosfield for this swim/bike race. A swim of 1.5km, and a 40km bike, and he completed it in 1:32:29, and came first! Great work.

 

Wendover Woods 100

Matt Jordan took part in this event at the weekend, and I wouldn’t normally report on a DNF, but the the fact he ran for 70 miles and climbed over 14,000ft is pretty notable. The race also has a 60% DNF rate.
