For some of the Barlickers not doing the relays, it was because they were doing this race.  Stephen Shorrock led them home finishing in 17th place.  Karl Robb paired up with Declan Bulmer from Wharfedale and they were the second pair home.  John Boothman was next to finish, but he struggled over the last 10K, due to lack of miles recently, but he was still 2nd Vet 55.  He was followed home by Gary Bradley

Katie Towers had a strong run  finishing 121st and then came Jamie Milligan, who was paired up with Pete Beresford.  At 7:04:50, it was a 39 minute PB for Jamie, a good effort considering that he only started running again six months ago.  Couch to 52K in six months!

This was an unusual relay in that it was effectively four separate 10K races with the combined results put together at the end.  So the second race or "leg" started before the first race finished, so no one new the standing of their team.  Having said that, it made each "leg" feel like a proper race.  Barlick had a good day finishing 1st ladies, 1st men, 1st mixed with the vets taking second place.  It was also good to see so many "social runners" out racing and what was interesting is that they put on a damn good show.   

The Barlick teams finished as follows:

1 Barlick Leg Ends:  Barrie Charnley, James Austin, Ian Cocks, Ben Whitehead (1st Men)

3 BFR Pub Run Mixed:  Emma Taylor, Jac Collins, Zac Kaye, Andy Collins (1st Mixed)

4 Barlick Vets,:  Jock Boothman, Andy Smith, Andrew Driver, David Pease (2nd Vets)

10 Barlick Ladies:  Molly Ralphson, Heather Driver, Paula Cullen, Emma Pease (1st Ladies)

19 BFR Mixed Allsorts:  Eve Boothman, Jamie Fox, Leanne Dinsdale, Sean Fitzpatrick

24 BFR Social Runners:  Jackie Bonsall, Maggie Bugler, Jayne Lee, Daren Holdsworth

29 Quad Squad:  Hayley Whitehead, Marie Beech, Amanda Holden, Megan Worswick

A flatish lapped route of the Etihad Stadium Campus saw Richard Shilton take a couple of minutes off his PB.

188 Richard Shilton 56.38

A great run from Alex Mason not only saw him lead the Barlickers home, but he also finished first U18.  It was also good to see Leanne Dinsdale back racing again.
