Tale of 2 Steves!
The Ribble Valley 10k
FVS TRI’s Steve Harrison travelled North over the holiday period and earned a super 10k PB with a 32:18 at the Ribble Valley 10k. In a high quality field of 800 runners, Steve’s time was only good enough for 24th place, although he did just beat first female GB International Helen Clitheroe by 2 seconds!
Bedford 5k
Steve James was 1st vet and 7th overall in a time of 17:41 and marked his debut performance in FVS TRI colours having recently transferred over from Ampthill & Flitwick Flyers.
2nd January 2006
Mulligatawny Mud Challenge
FVS TRI was top local Club in the invitation Mulligatawny Mud Challenge
hosted for the 2nd year by North Herts Road Runners. Eight Clubs were
invited to enter 15 runners with the
First 3 men and 3 women
scoring for the respective teams.
FVS TRI men were 3rd overall and led home by Simon Hall,
closely followed by Gavin May with James Brooks producing a
storming run to clinch the 3rd scoring spot.
FVS TRI ladies finished 2nd overall with Sam Tophill
leading in Lesley Dutton and Jackie Perry.
This very friendly but still competitive event was held over a tough
course featuring the best hills the local area could offer, and a lot of mud!
NHRR went to a lot of trouble to make the event fun with amusing signs to warn
the approaching runners of “ The
Swamp@ and “Cardiac Hill” and
every finisher received a well
earned can of Mulligatawny Soup.

Pirton Off Road 5K
Mark Simpson had another good run to finish 3rd overall in the Pirton Off Road 5k. With a free bottle of beer provided by the sponsors for each finisher, this will probably prove to be popular in 2006.
