Marie Devine went over to Spain on Friday for a week at Lynne Kerr’s Boot Camp. She thought she would be relaxing for a few days but on Saturday night they ran in a 5K race in Catral with the temperature at 27 °C at 7 pm when the race got under way.
Lynne ran a PB of 21.30 mins to finish 3rd female overall and received a trophy and a bottle of red wine. Marie ran 24.47 mins which was excellent considering the hot temperature and not having acclimatised. They both got goody bags containing technical T shirts, towel, tin of olives, crisps, shoe laces and pens. At the finish line there was water, beer and fruit. ( Bangor 10 K take note). This was a well organised race with accurate distance, chip time, and all the locals out supporting the runners, Afterwards there was fireworks and a concert.
