A couple of photos from Staplehurst 10, writes Grace Manzotti. I was trying to catch all of the team in a photo but there are some people missing.
So Allan Lee was second overall, Jacqui 3rd lady, Sally was 2nd W55 and Lionel 3rd M60. And I got a big PB of well over 1 minute 15. After trying in 2 previous races to go under 50. I did manage this time in 49.08.
I think it is a really well organised race, really pretty in the country lanes and nice start and finish in the village common. I think it is also a PB race
I enjoyed it much more than Larkfield. It was quite hot but there was a bit of a breeze and the sun came out in the second half.
