AFTER 2 weeks where Cross Country was to the fore, this weekend, for the seniors at least, it was a road race that took precedence with the first event of this year’s club championships, the Watford Half Marathon.

A good number of Heathsiders turned out on a cold, breezy and dull Sunday morning to take part and it was unsurprisingly Mehretab who led them home with an excellent debut over the distance gaining him 3rd place.

Ken and Gavin also had good runs to make the top 50 overall while Robin also had a good result within his age group.

As for the women it was Jules who took the Heathside honours, with Emma and Ursula close behind, though Susie had led all of them for the first half of the race.

Despite the hilliness of the course there were several PBs achieved.

The previous day the young athletes had rather better weather for their Cross Country race at Copthall. The club had at least 2 runners in 6 of the 8 races and there were some very good performances, although none of the teams quite managed to make the top 3 on the day. There was very little to choose between the performances of several of the runners.

Results of these and other events as follows: Finsbury Park 5k Parkrun, Finsbury Park, 6/2/10: 10th Steve Williams 21m 06s North West London Young Athletes Cross Country League, race 4 of 5, Barnet Copthall, 6/2/10: Under 11 Girls (1960m): 9th Jessica Godden 9m 51s 18th Phoebe Crockford 11m 08s 19th Nicole Bowen 11m 32s Under 13 Girls (2360m): 7th Genevieve Weston 11m 58s 15th Harriet Mackinney 12m 43s 20th Ellen Bolger 13m 10s Under 15 Girls (3050m): 5th Kathleen Jackson 16m 41s 9th Ellen Jackson 17m 44s Under 11 Boys (2360m): 14th Cameron Mackinney 11m 59s 18th Jan Hellebo 13m 01s 21st Tom O’Shea 13m 42s Under 13 Boys (3050m): 12th Jasper Crockford 15m 13s 20th Luc Hohmann 16m 35s Under 15 Boys (3750m) 7th Miron Woldemichael 17m 04s 10th Jordan Tompkins 17m 28s 20th Callum Jackson 20m 05s Watford Half Marathon, Watford, 7/2/10: 3rd Mehretab Solomon 68m 15s (PB, club U20 record) 25th Ken Heney 78m 01s 40th Gavin Evans 81m 27s (7th V40) 103rd Dominic Jackson 85m 47s (PB) 118th Trevor Wilson 87m 07s 125th Robin Tremaine 87m 42s (6th V50) 161st Graham Bell 89m 05s 198th Mark George 90m 35s 243rd Matt Fassnidge 92m 42s 260th Jules Weall 93m 22s 284th Carl Heap 94m 25s 346th Emma Grayson 96m 02s 371st Ursula Wilson 96m 41s 378th Rick Hewett 96m 55s 407th Ray Yau 96m 33s 465th Susie Brighton 99m 07s 624th Joanne Irwin 1h 42m 45s (PB) 681st Alexandra Czerniewska 1h 44m 04s 784th Simon Clarkson 1h 45m 58s (PB) 995th Gabi Johnson 1h 50m 43s (PB) 1295th Justine Turner 1h 57m 21s 1735th Resi Dzialdow 2h 17m 23s 1846 finishers in all Mornington Chaser’s winter 10k Series, Regent’s Park, 7/2/10: 43rd Stuart Carcary 41m 28s 110th Martin Hill 45m 53s
