John Carr 2

The second of the John Carr race series saw 12 Harriers (7 men and 5 ladies) taking part, which was one more than the previous week.  Only 2 had done it the week before, those being Philip Goose and Richard Edwards, meaning at this stage we have had 21 score points at John Carr.

It was a slightly cooler evening and thankfully less midges around, but the pace was red hot.

Phil was the 1st Harrier home in 22nd with a 17.26 but he couldn’t beat his previous weeks time.  Next up in 26th was Tom Pollard with a storming PB of 17.39.  This should see him score some good 1st division points but not quite beating Liam O’Brien and Scott Watson from the previous week.

Aron Hinds was next in 19.46 and posted the fastest 2nd division time to date with a 19.46, followed by Tom Mason in 20.56, Richard Edwards in 25.11 (18 seconds faster than week 1), Stuart Smith (25.42) and Michael Mason (28.38).

Rebecca Rogers was first Harrier lady home in 134th and posted the fastest ladies time so far from the two weeks in 21.10.  Nicola Shenton is claiming fastest so far in the 2nd division after posting a time 12 seconds faster than Lois Gardner last week (23.12).

Both Sarah Farnell and Clare Maxwell were delighted with there times, Sarah posting her fastest 5K in 18 months (25.13) and Clare 26.10 on her comeback race.  Joan Kavanagh is looking to score good 1st division points with a 27.15, following on from a strong run at Wakefield.

Just one more John Carr to go and more new faces are showing on the entry list.
