KIRSTEN’S PB AT OXFORD
Kirsten Lawton competed in the Oxford Town and Gown 10k on 13 May. The race has been voted as one of the UK’s best road races as it is a fast and unique course through the closed streets of Oxford passing historic buildings and ending in the University Parks. Kirsten was delighted with her run as she clocked up a new PB – her chip time was 42:57.

Sunday 13th was the annual Marlow 5 with 5 Vale athletes competing. With over 1200 runners, Alan Roberts (V40) came in 149th in 35:14 and Derek Peverill (V60) 269th in 37:28. The other 3 must have been on a family ticket! Louise, Jo and Pat Card(V50) all ran. Louise took it fairly easy and ran 36:46; Jo still felt the marathon in her legs finishing 386th in 39:59 and not having run for nearly a month, Pat took on a slow and easy pace finishing in 51.00. However, as now she is back training, watch out for her in her next race!

The Pednor 5 took place on Bank Holiday Monday, 7th May and as usual, was the main part of the Pednor 5 Challenge. Unfortunately numbers were down this year perhaps due to the weather conditions or the forthcoming Silverstone 10k. Vale had just 5 representatives so it was always going to be difficult to retain our team placings. Charlie May (27:39) and Rob Taylor (28:20) took 2nd and 4th places respectively – exactly the same pacings as last year. Henry Edwardes-Evans finished 16th in 31:39 and Alan Roberts 64th in 38:40. In the ladies race, Sue Barnes was 21st in 41.57. The men’s team finished in 3rd place. In addition to the race, two of our members took part in the Pednor 5 mile walk. Alan Roberts finished 10th in 52:26 and in the ladies race, Sue Barnes was 6th in 67:55. This gave them both medal positions in the Pednor Challenge; Alan was 3rd and Sue 2nd.
WATFORD ROUND-UP : May 2nd
