06/11/2022 - Sore heads at Shepshed![]() The morning after the night before Surprisingly, there was a more than decent showing, and many a spectator turning out to cheer them round the undulating two laps. First home for Ivanhoe, and fifth place overall, was Mark Parker. His time of 41 minutes earnt him a PB by over 3 minutes and took the club course record. Next was Ramzi Sidani, a super solid run for 14th place in a time of 43:29. Sporting a grand hangover, nicely announced at the prize giving, was our speedster Abby Halcarz, in a phenomenal 46:01. Mark Harriott wore the wrong colour Andrew Stanley was our second of the two PBs of the day, stopping the clock in 47:12, 12 seconds off his 2020 Stilton 7 time. Ian Bolton and James Cox were next to finish on the increasingly slippy field, 47:55 for Bolton and 49:31 for XC cap Coxy. Jordan Cope was expertly paced by Dan Bladon, both scoring their debut club 7 mile run, and a superb time of 51:17 greeted them for their efforts. Matt Joyce and Andrew Bottrill rallied round to be next through the gantry, close together in 54:19 and 54:41. Andrew Jeyes was another of our incredible prize winners, topping the pops in his age category with a shiny time of 55:28, and was in great company with Clare Wood chasing him home in 56:09 also achieving same feat. Cath Watkins (57:05), Bec Sharpe (57:52), Suzy Parish (58:26), Jill Singleton (1:03:55) and Kenny Ashton (1:23:11) all completed their debut 7 milers for Ivanhoe, setting a fabulous bar for their next outing. Between them, we had our fabulous Finn’s running together, John & Helen finishing in 1:01:44, Sally Jeyes (1:05:52) and Ellen Jepson (1:05:52). Sarah Malone had a great run in 1:03:53, with company from previous member Karen Brown (Hartland) for much of the run before making a breakaway. Janet Joyce finished strong and with one of the biggest smiles in 1:25:30. Written by Emily Partridge - last updated on 20/11/2022 |
