Weekend round up – SML and YAL

SOUTHERN MEN's LEAGUE

Ross ran an impressive 1500 and a fast 400 relay leg for a good afternoon's work.  Following a slow first lap of 67, Ross hit the front and lead the final 1000m to win in 4:01.  Pretty good stuff with a last 200 of 31 and the last 1000m at 3:55 pace.  30 minutes later he ran 51.5 for his relay leg.

Tim had an off day, dnfing in the 1500.  Adam ran his debut 800, and I think he'd prefer to stick to longer distances in the future.  I filled a gap in the 800 b-string.  My third run since Portugal resulted in a 2:14 clocking, 20 seconds outside my pb and my slowest since I was an U15!  Those stats didn't stop me spending the next 30minutes bent over being sick on the field next to to the track!

YOUNG ATHLETES LEAGUE

800 - Jivendra set an U15 club record in the 800 - 2:11, Ben Killip was just behind in 2:13.  Bradley lead out the U17 race and ran 2:03 with Jack feeling the effects of his prom in 2:06 - both pbs. Molly came past Christina in the home straight of the U17 women's race to record a pb of 2:23.  Rebecca adopted similar tactics in the U15 race and ran 2:26 with Kirsty in 3rd place.  Well done to U13s Sophie and Hollie, making their debut fo rthe club with good sub3 runs.  Aarorn pbd in the U13 boys race with Oliver too having a decent run.

3000 - Jack paced Tomm round to a pb before running away from him in the last 600m.  Tom ran 10:11 and Jack finished more than a minute outside his best in 9:53!

1200 - Hannah and Katrina ran well. Hannah was third, leaving her big finish too late but closing right down on the leaders in the last 100.

300/400 - Molly snuck ahead of Christina in the final stride of the 300 (45.7 to 45.8). Jivendra set his 2nd club record of the day with 55.9 to win his race.  Ed had a useful work out with 57.7 - very fast through 250 before tieing up a bit.
