Newmarket 10k

A slightly undulating course making a few runners a little apprehensive included
a couple of kilometers onto the Newmarket horse racing track. It was well
attended bringing in runners from many clubs over the surrounding counties.

Special mention goes to Rosemary for getting the trophy for 1st place for the
over 50 ladies, and young master Naughton for getting a trophy in the junior
race winning 1st for his age group. Well done!

The Stowmarket Strider results are as follows:

20	Nick Stephens	37.11
24	Chris Starmer	37.48
68	Gordon Slack	42.50
112	Richard Nash (PB!)	46.20
142	Jo Naughton	48.30
150	Paul Goldman	49.21
163	Grayhame Fish	50.28
174	Katy Nash	51.39
200	Rosemary Thurston (1st over 50)	54.49
201	Ronel van der Merwe	54.58
213	Maria Reynolds	56.35

There were 236 finishers.

So what does this mean for the Club Championships? Well only Richard, Paul,
Grayhame, and Katy have improved upon last year's known 10k best times, per
the table for Stowmarket Striders best times for 2000. The best improvement
came from Richard by a massive 4:58 from his personal best run and Katy by 3:21.
Lets wait to the Martlesham 10k to see if anyone can top that!
