On Sunday Garstang Running Club hosted the Guys 10 mile road race from Bilsborrow. The flat country course lends itself to fast times but atrocious weather conditions played their part this year.
Seven Lytham St Annes Club members were amongst the 321 competitors who braved the cold wind, freezing rain and hailstones. Joe Shaw described this as the “worst running conditions ever”. Despite this he still managed to finish 78th in a time of 1:09:59 achieving a personal best at this distance. Bad conditions can be a great motivator to finish quickly.
Peter Cruse was fifteenth and the first in the MV45 age category, again running ten miles in just under an hour; 59:38 to be precise. This is an excellent time and position but is what we have come to expect from Peter.
Other Lytham results: Kevin Ashworth 120th, 1:14:02; Steve Quarmby 139th, 1:15:55; Richard Storey 159th, 01:17:44; Trevor Willoughby 170th, 1:18:40 and Sylvia Gittins 234th, 1:27:57.
