Race Reports 31st March 2008

 
David Goddard was one of over 3000 finishers in this year's Lincoln 10k Road Race this weekend, returning to his roots. The flat course, enthusiastic support and beautiful sunshine, gave the opportunity for some fast times, and David was pleased with his time of 48.31, considering his long lay-off through injury.  The finish and presentations took place in the grounds of the historic Lincoln Castle.
  Sharon Keegan was the sole representative in the more local Arkendale 10k Trail Race in its second year, and finished 228th out of 320 runners in a time of 59.54. 
   About 200 runners completed the hilly 2-lap South Leeds 5 mile race through the lovely Middleton Park and Marian Codling took 55.17 minutes.
  Following the last of the NYSD cross country fixtures at Richmond recently presentations were made to series leaders.  Gary Dunn won the Silver Medal in the Men's category and Marian Codling got Bronze in the V3 women's category.
  The next race in the 2008 Club Championship is the Hartlepool Marina 5 on Sunday when it is hoped there will be a good club turnout!
