Royal Sutton’s distance runners kicked off the league season with battling performances at muddy and wet Newbold Comyn yesterday. The women ran first, which gave them the worst of the weather, but the best of the mud. The was a great debut for the club by Melissa Woodward who finished 28th. Andrea Deathridge was not far behind in 33rd, whilst Vici Richardson completed the team in 219th. The race was won by GB athlete Jessica Judd. Overall the team was 19th.

The men, who were competing back in Division 1 following their promotion last year, finished in 14th. Well done in particular to Paul Baker and Mike Deasey who were competing in their first XC for the club – a real baptism of fire! Paul ran particularly well to score for our B team. The club results are below:

A team – Nick Corker (27th), Rob Andrew (106th), Simon Corker (128th), Chris Taylor (135th), Paul Terleski (143rd), Tom Chew (153rd)

Well done to our M35 Vets who finished 6th at the British Masters XC Relays. Great runs by everyone, with Fred and Paul both demonstrating that a warm up is overrated (apparently a sprint from the car park to the start line suffices). Leg times as follows:

1.  Simon Corker – 11.27
2. Rob Andrew – 10.50
3. Nick Corker – 10.11
4. Fred Tremblay – 11.21
5. Paul Terleski – 11.20

Thanks to Roy for doing a great job as Team Manager.
