The London Marathon 2012
Sunday 25th April 2012
Spring brings with it a host of marathons that us Striders insist on taking part in. 2012 has been no exception, with Harry Smith challenging himself to do 6 marathons in 6 weeks, staring with Bungay, making London his 2nd one.
On April 15th 3 Striders took part in Brighton's 3rd annual marathon: Roy Fulcher in 3:34:01 setting himself a fantastic time for a first marathon. Paul Heeks in 3:54:07 smashing his PB by 25 minutes and Denise Wright in 5:03:39 also improving her PB by an amazing 11 minutes.
The same day also saw 3 Striders at the Bungay marathon: Damian Hinchcliffe in an excellent time of 3:30:59, Shaun Jones completed his first marathon in a fabulous time of 3:40:38 and Harry Smith, his 1st of 6 in 4:02:44.
Frank Moggan went International, flying the flag for Striders at the Paris Marathon and pulled off a fantastic time of 3:58:50.
29th April was the very first Milton Keynes marathon. We had 8 Stowmarket Striders running in this, in the most appalling weather conditions; constant wind and rain. Huge congratulations to Tim Larke 3:12:03, Chris Seymour 3:15:43, John Craddock 3:49:41, Harry Smith 4:01:39, Tony Burdett 4:09:04, Jen Devaney 4:45:21, Sandra Mayhew 4:47:07 and Keith Borrett 4:46:35.
Full results for these marathons can be seen from the Striders Results page.
The Virgin London Marathon 2012 took place on 25th April. Having had days of rain before hand the field were amazed to be running under clear blue skies and sunshine. A little cold while standing in the pens in the early morning, but once we started running it was really very warm. Perfect running conditions for most of the day, until it poured down at about 4pm.
This was an important year for the elite runners most of whom were hoping to use London to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.
In the men's race, Wilson Kipsang took 1st place in 2:04:44 recording the 2nd fastest time ever on the London course. He was 2 minutes clear of 2nd place Martin Lel and missed the course record set last year year by Emmanuel Mutai by just 4 seconds. Emmanual Mutai ran his worst London marathon in 5 years coming 7th overall in 2:08:01 (he had been suffering from typhoid just a month ago!!!). World record holder Patric Makau dropped out after 10 miles with hamstring problems. British Olympic hopeful Lee Merrien missed the the Olympic qualifying time of 2:12 but came in with a PB of 2:13:41 and for the 2nd year running was the first Briton home.
The ladies race was won by Mary Keitany for the 2nd year running in 2:18:37. Making her the 3rd fastest lady in history at London. More than 1 minute behind her in 2nd place was World Champion Edna Kiplagat finishing in 2:19:50, with world silver medalist Priscah Jeptoo coming 3rd with a new PB of 2:20:14. With one Olympic place left Britain's Claire Hallissey came 11th with a new PB of 2:27:44 and within in the qualifying time. Our local elite runner Helen Davies (nee Decker) came in in 2:34:11 setting herself a new PB, beating Liz Yelling who came in 2:40:08.
2012 club places this year were awarded to Jason Walker, Matthew Eveleigh, Dianne Hughes and Keith Borrett. Joining them were 15 other club members who got in either through the public ballot, via charities or by deferring from last year. All our runners completed this year and their results are below.
