Decathlon 10K
Reportedly there were over a 1,000 entrants for this FREE event. Yes, free and aided by a fabulous OAC Marshalling crew, whose efforts in the cold non-sheltered Holywood Exchange area was appreciated by Decathlon staff and runner alike…although Elizabeth Leitch would have braved Mount Everest to get to that birthday cake presented to her…happy birthday Liz!
Thanks to Rodney Corrigan for organising and to the OAC crew. Despite no chip-timing, this encouragement seemed to help the following Orangegrove members with their personally recorded times:
Johnny Park | 35.05 | (3rd place) | |
Eric Fairfield | 39:42 | (after XC on Sat!) | |
David Roberts | 43:35 | PB | (OAC Debut) |
Gillian Logan | 44:21 | ||
Julie McKimm | 46:00 | ||
Jacqui Maxwell | 48:59 | ||
Sharon Corken | 49:48 | ||
Reg Sanlon | 50:45 | ||
Anna Rankin | 51:15 | PB | |
Karen Russell | 55:28 | PB | |
Ian Reid | PB | 1 min PB |
Plenty of other members also took part in this Decathlon race which is as flat as you can get but where you can be at the mercy of the wind.
