Julie Balmer was 2nd in the Ladies Race on a warm humid Wednesday evening at the Lisburn half marathon after an epic battle with Monaghan Phoenix athlete Donna Evans. They were neck and neck in the early stages but the Southern established a 40 sec gap at the mid point. However Julie produced a big second half and demolished the gap but just couldn’t match the her opponent’s last- minute surge and was 2nd by 3 secs in 84:54 min.
Other club results we noticed were Ali Robinson in 98:02, Steve Wise in 99:29, Sarah Benton in108:46 and Paul Galloway in 112:44. There must be many others but the results format is unfriendly and needs individual scrolling. We will publish any results reported.
Julie is now at the top of the Pure Running Half Marathon rankings.
