| Despite a stiff, cold breeze Surrey Walking Club put in a good effort in the London Open 10km held at Victoria Park Hackney. Despite facing into the north wind on the last third of each lap Stephen Crane returned a time much faster than recently and about his best since his return to racing. As usual difficult conditions have less effect on the fittest racers and a competitive fields with about 70 out in total ended with fast times at the front and 7 under the 50 minute mark. Stephen just made the first 10 while Mick Harran battled hard for a good time in the wind to finish half a minute ahead of Surrey’s two second claim members, Flint and King, who ended only 4 seconds apart. In the Under 13 boys Andrew Statter battled on for a sub 17 minute result just bettering his pre-Christmas time and 2nd place. Click here to see photos from the race |
