23rd September 2001

Despite the long trek up to Lowestoft, this was a good fast race.  Chris Rees, new to racing thought it would be fun to run with David Miller (winner of this race!) for the first mile before realising the pace to be a little too fast for him!?!  This was however an excellent time for his first race and we have good hopes for him in the future.   

Gordon and Richard Nash ran together for the first 3 to 4 miles before Gordon left his pacemaker for a strong finish.  Perhaps it may have been the other way round as Richard achieved his personal best at this distance, beating his last PB by over 3 minutes!

Katy also did well with a PB herself, also by almost 3 minutes over her previous best.  This put Katy as 4th lady in and a mere 30 seconds or so short of winning a trophy!  Well done.

For the team event, we believe the boys may have managed 3rd place and should the ladies had another runner, a possible first.  Perhaps next time!?

The Stowmarket Strider results are:-

There were 104 finishers.
