The fast, flat 7.5 loop Downpatrick course attracted 4 of our runners on Friday evening. With 3 time banded races to choose from we had two in the 17 – 22 mins and two in the sub 17 mins.
The theory is a fast and flat course will lead to pb’s and our athletes didn’t disappoint. Dale Murray took over 30 seconds off his winning time at Donaghadee recently when he clocked 16:05, placing 11th. Nick Irvine was our other runner in the sub 17’s and made it home in 16:59 which was 22nd.
17 – 22 mins included Brian Geddis who bettered his pb time from last year in the same race by 4 seconds and placing 46th. Sarah Gibson also continued her good racing form recording 21:08 which was a 30 second improvement on her last 5k road race around Queens. This placed Sarah 51st overall.
