Results Round Up – 13/5/14

The second evening RR10 took place on Wednesday 7^th May at Stoney Cross, in the New Forest. Romsey Runners were well represented. The route started as a pleasant downhill with runners setting off at a fast pace before encountering mud and water at the bottom and a returning incline back towards the start!

The Romsey Men consisted of three teams finishing 4th, 8th and 26th. The B team were actually the “second of the B teams” and were ahead of the A teams of some other clubs which is a tremendous performance.

The Romsey Women went one better than last time out to field five teams finishing 7th, 14th, 18th, 32nd & 44th respectively.

Male finishers: 2^nd Matt Hammerton, 24th Mark Stileman,  26^th Chris Brown, 27th Tony Burrows, 31^st Andrew Proctor, 33^rd Ian Ralph, 39^th Jimmy Hunt, 44th Neil Jennings, 47^th Duncan Dickinson, 62^nd Tony King, 90^th Steve Reed, 127^th Peter Hartley, 130^th John Quayle, 141^st Andrew Archibald, 188^th Richard Vie, 198^th David Nixon and 200^th Derek Kelly.

The weekend saw 9 RRRs running in the Harewood Forest 10K, starting and finishing at Wherwell, in the heart of the Test Valley.  Cool, windy conditions with only a small amount of mud, made for a very pleasant race off-road event with lots of beautiful scenery including some patches of Bluebells still at their peak!
