There was a good turn out for this event. This is an off road downland event, very hilly so a lot slower than a road marathon. Even the winner took 1hr 29.58. First home from Uckfield was Graham West in 1hr 49.34 followed by Brian King 2hrs 01.10 and then the first of our ladies Dayle Bryant 2hr 14.38 running with Peter Wilkes 2hr 14.39 (pictured). This was Dayle's first half marathon, so well done Dayle, you didn't choose and easy one for your first. Also running Chris Lugg 2hr 16.42, Emma Flint 2hr 35.18, Caley Pearce 2hr 34.49, Judith Pyett 2hr 37.28. The weather was a fairly cool 11c with quite a wind, which was not too bad for running but a bit chilly for the club picnic afterwards.
Also running on Sunday Beckie Stonebanks ran the Ashdown Forest 5k this weekend in a PB of 26.29 & came 5th woman & Charlotte Menzies ran a PB of 24.53 & was 3rd woman.
Tara Twyman and Rachael Hornigold opted for a bigger challenge completing the South Downs Marathon (very hilly) in 4hours 56 mins.
Mark Slaughter competed in the karrimor great trail challenge in the Lake District. The race was 22k and Mark finished in 1hr 58 mins. The race involved two laps of a course over latrigg fell. Mark commented it was great event and would highly recommend it if you enjoy running hilly courses.
Dave Cook added some pain to his running completing the 11.5 mile tough mudder: in addition to mud a number of obsticles are thrown in including electic wires hanging down to give electric shocks to the participants. And yes Dave did pay them money for the priviledge of participating.
