18/09/2016 - Iron Man Wales, Calke 10k


Jez Millington-Pipe represented Ivanhoe Runners at the Calke Abbey 10k, and set a personal best time of 56.18.

Meanwhile the two "hard women" of the Club, Rosie Dear and Teresa Talbot, achieved magnificence by completing the Iron Man Wales at Tenby. With a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and rounding off with a 26.2 mile marathon run, it is a feat of endeavour. They are both experienced having done the ironman distance before, but the Wales course is particularly gruelling and they did well, Rosie finishing in 13 hours 45 minutes 2 seconds to finish 11th in her category and Teresa in 14 hours 41 minutes 34 seconds to finish 25th in her category.
