LAKE VYRNWY HALF MARATHON
This race is recognised as a big race in the veteran race calendar and is a flat, fast course used by many to attempt personal best performances.
Well over 1000 raced around the lake in sunny, warm conditions and on this occasion, Robin Guy lead home the nine strong Newport contingent to complete the course in 1.29.01 and gain 116th place. A very creditable performance in a race of this size and quality.
Phillip Hill was not too far adrift in 155th, clocking 1.31.23 as he crossed the line. Graham Rogers was next to finish in 245th managing a time of 1.36.28.
First Newport lady home was Lorraine Rollinson, who showed a clean pair of heels to many other athletes to achieve a time of 1.38.14 and 281st place. Still regaining some fitness after a long term injury, but making good progress was Steve Wootton in 298th and 1.39.15.
Another athlete who seems to be going from strength to strength and speeding up as the season goes on is Oliver Stokes, who kept going at a steady pace to be 465th in 1.47.35. Less than a minute behind him was Jason Rollinson in 1.48.16 in 474th and Claire Benson was also in close contention in 488th in 1.48.56.
The final competitor for Newport was John Stokes in 2.12.54 which was good enough to gain him a creditable 997th position.
