One Mile Time Trial – 15 July 2010

Report and timings.

It was a busy Thursday night at the club with lots of options available to us. We had a group running 13 miles, another doing 10 and the largest did a 5.5 mile run. The remaining 10 of us took advantage of the grass 400m track up at QE School. Those of you who have run on that 400m track will need reminding that it is on a slope. On the night of the time trial there was a wind to contend with too, although how much impact it had on our times is unclear as it was blowing up the hill.

Andy MacDonald, our three mile time trial specialist, was, unsurprisingly, the fastest man on the track. However, he was pushed very hard by Ross Kirkpatrick who kept Andy ‘honest’ for the whole distance. Next in was a determined run from Callum Kennedy, who was the only other runner to dip under 6 minutes. Steve Headley is looking stronger by week and he broke way early from the main group of Paul Teck, Nick Solomon, Dave Wild, Kevin Elliott and Andrew Olden. Alan Kirkpatrick rounded off our finishers with his annual one mile run – it would be great to see Alan training with us more often.
