There were some cracking performances at the weekend with six Barlickers making the trip to Chester for the Marathon. Ian Livesey is really putting the mileage in at the minute and came home in 8th place with a new pb of 2.34.59. Julian Hood has been running really well this year and came home 12th, again in a new pb of 2.37.13. Completing the trio in the top 20 was club record holder Chris Singleton, who had another solid performance, but by his own high standards, was left a tad disappointed on the day. Newest club member Ian Cock was next home in 3.10 with his good mate James Tingle not far behind in 3.16.
Scott Boardman was also running for his chosen charity and finished in a time of 4.06. All in all a successful day for the Marathon boys who are starting to push each other on. We now have 4 runners who have been under 2.40. Matt Lalor and Russell Parrington will be looking to hit that landmark in Dublin at the end of the month. We are still awaiting confirmation but Barlick may have won the team prize which is yet another first for the club in a Marathon.
