4. 5K – Thursday 20th June

Look out for the 2019 dates when training resumes on Shipley Park!

…Joe Rainsford and Lizzie Poole

With four victories out of four Joe was a comfortable winner in the men’s races
In the ladies races however, it was a much closer affair.
With Lizzie helping Rob with the time keeping it asked the question whether a 14 point lead would be enough
In the end it was and but only one point separated Lizzie from second place Lily Winfield with Anna Shipley only a further three points behind in third.
There was some good running by all this summer but only one course record was broken with Lily lowering her own U15 girls record to an impressive 17 minutes 18 seconds.

Congratulations again to Joe and Lizzie – I’ve heard rumours of extra financial bonuses to be awarded this year (to be confirmed).

Who’s in the running to win this years Time Trial?
Latest results and standings here: 2016 Time Trial Latest

Joe Rainsford (15:10) and Lily Winfield, in a new U15 girls record of 17:44, finished first back in the male and female categories while Dale Annable (14:51) went sub-15 minutes for the second successive time trial to post the fastest time overall.

Despite not running in the final fixture, Ian’s previous three efforts were enough for him to scoop the time trial honours for the first time. Just nine seconds separated his fastest and slowest performances, with his best clocking of 16:55 coming in June.

Rose may have ran have finished third on the final day but her time of 21:42 was enough to see her crowned 2015 champion. Also competing in three out of four fixtures, Rose’s best run (19:54) also came in June and she beat Danielle Smith to top spot overall.

V40 Ashley headed into the final assault on the 3 mile course needing to better his points from the last time trial in June to stay ahead of Steve Ashmore in the race to succeed Tony Weatherson as time trial champion.

Despite coming back two positions behind Steve (16:23), Ashley clocked 17:02 in the last of the four-part series and secured the twenty-two points required to take the title.

Lizzie Poole topped the female standings going into the final event but youngster Lily Winfield, fresh from her Darley Park Race for Life victory last weekend, stole in on the final race to taste victory for the second-successive year.

Needing to compete to get her three out of four races required to count towards her overall tally, Lily went on to better the U13 girls’ record she’d already improved twice this season to come back first in 18:27.

Lizzie (21:39) ran almost two minutes quicker than the previous clockwise-running of the undulating course in May and secured third as Wendy Mullineux (19:06) sandwiched herself in between.

Full and final results HERE

Lizzie Poole currently leads the ladies’ standings having accumulated an impressive 66 points from the three time trials so far. Jo Potter and Rita Fisher lie just three and four points behind respectively but the biggest threat could come from age category record holders Lily Winfield and Wendy Mullinuex.

Lily and Wendy enjoyed successful outings in their first two time trials as they set new records on both occasions in the U13 and senior categories respectively. But both girls have only completed two out of three and, with a runner’s best three performances out of four counting towards their final position, Lily and Wendy could mount late pressure.

Despite being just one point ahead of nearest rival Steve Ashmore (and two in front of both Tim Draycott and Dylan George), Ashley Deeming is in pole position to take the men’s title – barring a no-show, disaster or surprise performances from elsewhere.

Ashley remained on top last month despite only taking 18 points in his last outing. With a cool 24 and 23 points gathered in his first two time trial events, however, Ashley only needs a better performance than last time out to more or less guarantee himself the title.

Current standings HERE

Twenty-one turned out for the anti-clockwise running of the 3 mile route and Lizzie’s time of 21:57 was the fastest female clocking of the evening. Tim Holling returned to clock 16:24 for the fastest men’s time.
