Tony Mead · Stebbing 10

I'm up for this one and looking for a team prize so who else wants it?

Co-Skipper

Tony - I will be entering this next week, and having spoken to Graham at Tiptree - I know he is planning it too.

Tony Mead

Good O! I need the new fast guys to pull me round.

Steffan

I need the new fast guys to give me a piggyback!

Tony Mead

Co-Skipper

I'm now in along with Tony. I entered online through Runner's World. Entries are apparently up to 350 with the limit at 500.

Anyone else entered this?

MikeBriggs

Is it 10k or 10 miles?

Gary Pitman

I'm in

Co-Skipper

Mike - the race is 10 miles. Perhaps another dose of cortisone or similar may be in order! Hopefully you can come alive as usual over the last 800m.

Darren Emmett

Tony Mead

Ive got room for anyone needing a lift on Sunday. I live in southend so anyone out that way wants a lift just let me know.

pete the young one

well done to everyone that ran today, a good turnout by the Benfleet squad again with some 20-25 runners out i think.

some fantastic times and PB's from what I heard. The ones i know of are Nick Rankin did a PB by 3 minutes, I did one by 3mins 40, Tanya Parker got a 6min PB, Chris Williams PB, Susanne Barton PB. The fast boys once again did well with Jez, Graham, Nick, Kieron, Tony and Stef all running well. Lucy was our first lady home i think.

A good PB course, even with that nasty hill at 7 to 7.5 miles!! well done to all.

Tony Mead

Well done one and all. Great runs for the people with PBs.Thanks steff for puling me around.

Ian J

PB for me as well, almost 2 mins better than Tiptree by my watch.

The farm track section around mile 7-8 was very hard, uphill & windy and I lost about 30 secs here and thought I has blown a PB. Fortunately, the last couple of miles were downhill.

Darren Emmett

I enjoyed the race even though a bit hilly, but if I knew the bacon butties were that good, might have done it a bit quicker !!!

Well run to you all and thanks for the support from Brian & peter, oh and the Everton fan (who were luck in beating WHU today)

Co-Skipper

Certainly a tough race, and although there were no hills the size of Vicarage Hill to speak of, there seemed to be a load of nasty little inclines throughout.

First of all, congratulations to Jez who had a stunning race to claim 4th place and into the 57s, and also Nick Rankin who ran another outstanding race to clock a time in the 1:02's. Nick showed his training form and grew stronger as the race progressed to its latter stages.

PJW, Tanya, Chris, and Susanne can also be proud after their PB efforts on what was not the easiest course by a long stretch. It was good to see so many team members packing the placings (although not so welcome to see them all so close behind at the U-Turn section!).

Co-Skipper

The official results are up. It looks like our team have earned a Men's silver!

Springfield are first with 1st, 3rd and 12th.

Billericay Striders have 35 points (6th, 10th, and 19th). This is identical to us - but with Jez's 4th place surely Benfleet would have the edge!

Superb result!

Ian J

Results are online now at:-

Graham

Jez must be pleased after running a superbly quick pb leaving me eating his dust from about 4 miles but just missed the podium. 4th getting to be a bit of habit lately aye. Look on the bright side buddy - you'll be in MV40 category next year and you would have cleaned up! Ho ho ho.

Gary Pitman

Well done everyone. Good turnout again and some good times as well.

Jez

Cheers Graham, very pleased.Felt really strong all the way round, shame the 2 lads in front got away from me in the last 1/2 mile and pip me for a trophy,nice of me to drag them round I thought!!

Well done to everyone else who pb'd on a testy course.
