Handmade Sausage Rolls - You know they make sense!
South London had a feast of sport today.....The London Surrrey Classic bike race, the U17 Inter-Counties and the Perseverance Wimbledon Dash 5k. Athletes turned up earlier than ever due to possible road mayhem but the only heat going down stemmed from the soles of the winner, Paskar Owor.
Owor (Bels), (interview from last year) content to sit in during the early part of the race retained his title over young student Andrew Penny (HW) and Nick Altman (TH&H). The depth of field remained pretty similar to last year (albeit with a completely different line up!). Apart from Owor, not one of the first 12 from 2010 were here today. Maybe the 'hill of doom' had left scars that take time to heal..........
Interestingly (well, not really) the first 8 were all from different clubs. A surprise turn up from the great John Downes from Ireland was good to see and a strong run from Andy Robinson (TH&H) saw him grab 8th overall.
The ladies race was a closer affait with Lucie Custance (Clapham Chasers) holding a 7 second win from Emily Alden from Epsom and Ewell (10.03 and 18.10 respectfully). Fiona Love (Clapham Chasers, 18.25) soon followed with Hercules own sweetheart Claire Grima chasing hard at 18.32.
Thames men won team honours while Clapham Chasers were runaway winners in the Ladies race.
Please note revised mens team: Redhill District Royal mail team from 33rd to 26th place.
Surrey County medals - 1st 3 Seniors & M40, M50, M60, W35, W45, W55.
