Tees Barage 10K

A great club turn out for our first championship race – a total of 29 NYM runners took part – 23 of whom entered the club championships. For those that didn’t there’s no charge to enter and there is a prize to the winner at the end of the competition.  

Some good performances too given the cold, blustery conditions. Impressive handicap times also, 15 out of 23 were within 30 seconds of their predicted finishing times. Farthest out was Barry Moody (+190 seconds) but that was down to me as I wouldn’t accept his 50 minutes and gave him 47’ instead. However, his daughter Josie made up for that by winning the women’s section being 15 seconds under. Good to see new members Petra and Vicky picking up points in the women’s section. Winner of the men’s section was Stephen Kelleher who was on the maximum 30 seconds under, finishing in 46’00. I think that could be a first time 10k for Stephen, so well done. It was a first timer for Paul Levett who finished in a respectable 42’11. 

Nice to see Richard Bellamy back after a long absence and in his usual style he finished the second half of the race strongly to finish in 34’43. Jim “Bully” Bulman, though suffering from a cold, still flew the flag for us and led the team winners home in 33’16, with Alisdair Tatham (34’17) and Richard supporting him. We didn’t get the ladies team but Jayne Parkin picked up a nice prize for third lady home in 43’00. A special mention for Eddie Meehan who finished 18 seconds under handicap in 43’42 – he completed the Vienna marathon in April.

Note – on the results “DIS” refers to those disqualified due to being more than 30 seconds under predicted finish time.  

Again, an excellent NYM perforamce and thanks to all taking part. 

n.b. if anyone has a query on the results please let me know – it is possible I have missed  some ones handicap time. It can easily be up dated.
