Oh My Obelisk - 15.01.12

Five Honiton Running Club members went to Dawlish last Sunday to take part in Dawlish Coaster’s Oh My Obelisk. This is an 11 mile multi-terrain run which begins at Dawlish Leisure Centre and after winding around the playing fields, runners are taken up to the Obelisk and back down again. The second half is much nicer than the predominantly uphill first half. The start is very exposed and runners paid for the sea view as there was a bitterly cold wind. However, once runners set off  the route became more sheltered and the going was good with not too much mud around.

Bruce Strawbridge was first back for Honiton coming 32nd in a time of 1:22:36. Steve Davey was next back very pleased with himself for beating last year’s time by 4 minutes. He was 45th in 1:24:37. Judy Davey enjoyed the run after the initial cold and came 96th in 1:33:35. This was the first time of running the Obelisk for Nick Bradley-Carter and Olivia Higginson who had both been convinced that the race was no tougher than Axmouth Challenge. Both enjoyed it but disagreed with how tough it was. Nick estimated his finishing time to be 1 hour 45 so he was pleased to finish 155th in 1:44:01. Olivia finished in 187th place in 1:49:02. This won’t be the last time of running this race for either of them. The race was won by Michael Robinson of Tamar Trotters in the amazing time of 1:08:54.
