Fair Ladies at Fairlands, Stevenage, Met League Fixture 2
I start this report with news of those further down the field who deserve recognition for their achievement at this fixture reports Donna Nash.
FIRST place for our ‘B’ Team of Vets – Lesley (137th overall in 29.59), Pauline (147th overall in 31.10), Lucy ((161st in 32.36) and Heather ((164th in 32.57) and FIRST place for our ‘C’ team of Lyndsey and Angela who remain 2nd overall in Vets D3.
Well done ladies – keep it up and you will be promoted…
The speedy A team, pictured with Gerry Archer, were:
Stacey (bronze position in 3rd – creeping up the field in 21.50), Gemma (16th in 23.20) Ciara (33rd in 24.39), Hannah (37th in 25.01) Kate (62nd in 26.22) and Zoe (98th in 28.10 who also scored for the A team of Vets).
The A team achieved 4th place and remain 4th after 2 fixtures.
The B team comprised Lynn (99th in 28.13), Karen (119th in 29.08), Mel (123rd in 29.23), Lesley and Pauline (who scored for both seniors and vets B teams).
The Senior C Team comprised Lucy, Katherine, Heather and Christina. Katherine and Christina put in impressive effort improving significantly over the course and feeling deservedly proud. A PB also for Heather, running the course for the first time.
Poor Lotte had to retire due to a niggling hamstring issue but cheered enthusiastically along with Preena who offered great support and ran alongside Christina in the closing stages.
Lynn Hyde managed a sprint finish overtaking on the last stretch (what a great feeling!).
Several ladies used this as a warm up for the Grand Union half, huge respect for Mel, Zoe, Lucy and Angela! Thanks for making the effort for your club as well as pursuing your own goals – committed or crazy?!
Thanks to our super squat of 18 and roll on Fixture 3 – Wormwood on 3rd December. Let’s have everybody out there!
