HRRL #9 – Salisbury 10 Mile

The sun drenched banks of the River Avon were the backdrop of the ninth Hampshire Road Race League race. Starting in the City of Salisbury Athletics track, some 20 Roadrunners made trip across the Solent to compete in the 10 mile race.

Winding North from the city, the runners battled the surprisingly hot temperatures, as they made their way along the undulating course to the Woodford Valley and then returning with the Cathedral spires in view to finish back on the track.

Peter Sexton was the first roadrunner home in a cracking 64.32 placing him 6th in the MV50 category.
Despite the warm weather, 3 of our runners managed to surpass their previous personal best times. Ever improving super duo Darren Cole and Abigail Farwell again acheived the double, by both running PBs. These 2 are certainly on an upward trajectory this season as they continue to improve race on race. Kelly Forster also ran her heart out today, knocking a fantastic 2 minutes off her previous record to come home in 85.55.
