Moulton 10K, Northampton, 25/8/13

Report and Photos by Peter Simpson

Supported our runners here in 2012 but this year my ride to the venue from the rail station was on a fold-up bike due to the replacement coach. Bruce Lovell was suffering a significant tear to a calf prior to the race otherwise recently not far off his best. The Northants county champs were being held here again and Bruce is a vital member of his local team, here to defend their title, Bruce was not prepared to see it slip. Bruce finished 5th / 260 in 36.09, a member of his winning race team and in the county champs, Bruce said he ‘fluked the senior men’s gold and was a member of his winning team. Contact, Tim Williams was running his 3rd event, easily the toughest but ran well to finish in 50.38 (157th) and will soon be wearing a VRs vest. Yasmin has nearly all of the VR kit and starting from the back finished in 54.36 (35th F).
