Crewkerne 10k

5/26/2013

0 Comments

 
In the absence this year of the Ottery St Mary 10K, six Honiton runners drove over to Crewkerne for a similar event. The only trouble was the hills. The race started with a 100ft climb with prizes for King and Queen of the Hill, but there were no Honiton contenders for these prizes. Once at the top there was a nice descent before the next climb came along. So it went on round the course, either going up or going down, and Richard Harvey who had assumed that after the first hill the race would be quite flat got a bit of a shock. He still managed to get round in 43 minutes 51 seconds and lead the Honiton contingent home. Next in was Vernon Gillard who hasn't managed to race much this year but had a good run of 44:55. He was followed by Rod Inglis who likes to run steadily for the first half of a race and then go for it in the second. This has the advantage of overtaking lots of tiring runners as he works his way through the field. He finished in 46:25. Local vet Esme Wilson was next home in 50:01very pleased that she could maintain her pace despite the hills. John Burgess had managed to lead Esme up the first hill and kept her in sight for the next mile but lost her on a long ascent. He managed to pick up his effort towards the finish and came in 50:47. Finally Brent Dicks, who only decided to do the event at the last minute and who doesn't like going uphill, took advantage of his sprinting speed on the downhill finish to overtake lots of other runners, and came home with a flourish in 55:20. The race was won by Ben Broyd in the excellent time of 37:07. Bring back the OSM 10K PLEASE!
