A out and back course along the seafront from Sandown to Shanklin and back again may have promised some super speedy times given the pan flat nature of the course.
However the tail end of storm Florence was making its presence felt as a couple of our trusty IWRR lined up outside Sandown Zoo.
“It was so windy on the return leg” said Trish Train “I felt like a feather against the wind!”
It didn’t impede her performace though, as speedy Trish rocketed her way along the promenade and back to finish in 41.02 for 3rd lady, taking the V50 title. Steve Rumsey also ran a blinder, taking the V50 trophy for the men.
Trish’s sister Margaret also ran, completing her first race for a while. She finished in a fantastic 55.33 and 14th lady.
