| Poor numbers for the originally planned 2010 National 100 miles led to cancellation however London
Vidarian and Surrey Walking Club’s Chris Flint still felt there should be an event this year and
managed, at short notice, to put on this race. He was rewarded with a reasonable field of 28 in
Colchester including visitors from Holland, Spain, Belgium and I.O.M. The result was victory for
Surrey’s Sandra Brown, a repeat of 2009, in a time only slightly behind last year and over half an
hour ahead of the second placed competitor who was visiting Dutchman
G.Heunks. Times were a little slow as this is not a flat course although weather was not too hot with an hour of heavy rain. Chris
Flint himself was pleased to record another finish within the 24 hour limit while Richard Brown and
David Hoben also started but retired with rather shorter distances. |
