Cirencester Athletics and Triathlon Club

Benidorm Half-Marathon, Benidorm 13.1 miles roads

MARTIN CROUCHER maintained last week's international theme when supporting two work colleagues around the Benidorm Half-Marathon.

Our paragon of pacing somehow managed to run the second half 10 minutes faster than the first – now that is a real negative split.

RESULTS: 1, Mohamed Bouchetta 1:09.32; 797, Martin Croucher 1:56.56. 12,228 finished.

Wiltshire Half-Marathon, Westbury, 13.1 miles road

DESPITE a heavy cold, Ivan Quinlan, dragged himself around the undulating Wiltshire Half-Marathon near Westbury.

He finished in 1:48 after slowing in the second half.

RESULTS: 1, David Hudson (BRJ Run & Tri) 1:13.04; 134, Ivan Quinlan (Cirencester AC) 1:48.32. 286 finished.

Eynsham 10km, nr Oxford, 10km road

VETERAN Dave Wright gave his long legs a gentle stretch to finish just outside the first 100 in the Eynsham 10km.

RESULTS: 1, Steve Naylor (Bedford & County) 31.58; 103, David Wright 40.13. 588 finished.

Parkruns

SHARON O’KEEFFE (32.08) and Nina Lawrence (35.42) ran their first parkrun at Swindon after 100 per cent attendance at the club’s 10-week beginners' course. Both were supported by other club runners and Sharon’s pace was fast enough to enable dad Dick Waldron (32.12) to win his age group.

Jon Young (23.42) knocked nearly 40 seconds off his previous time and Barbara Thomas (25.29) secured yet another age-group win.

Other members of the beginners' group will be braving this week’s Swindon Parkrun and are looking forward to sharing the race and post-race chocolate cake with as many club members as possible.

Ian Barrett (18.24) won at Wotton-under-Edge on the fifth running of this new local event.

Ruth Fulford (29.43) found the course at Ashton Court, Bristol both slower and a great deal more competitive.
