NHRR Report

Gary Cook of the North Herts Road Runners finished 23^rd in last Sunday's Flitwick 10k in Bedfordshire. The race is held annually and always attracts a large and competitive field. Gary completed the course in 36:10 to continue his excellent form ahead of the Squirrel's forthcoming mid-week league fixtures. Peter Scrowther (78^th) was the second NHRR  runner home in 40:04 with John Franklin (111^th) not far behind in 42:03.

Steve Williamson (136^th) was at the head of a closely packed group of Squirrels finishing in 42:42. He was followed across the line by Alan Jones (152^nd; 43:15) and then Michael Moralee (163^rd; 43:48). The first NHRR lady to complete the course was Jo Harbon in 46:47 with Suzy Trott (47:21) the second. Members Lindsay Cook (58:57) and Rachel Annetts (1:04:38) showed how well they have recovered from their recent London marathon efforts.
