At last the results have appeared for last week's race. The Lowther family were out representing Barlick and finished as follows:
46 Richard Lowther 35:24
55 Rachel Lowther 36:41
It would have been a bit of a sad evening if Royton Road Runners had not got the majority of their club to turn out for this event, as they made up more than half of the field. To be fair the conditions were poor due to the bad weather but the event was well marshaled and friendly. The Barlickers finished:
37 John Boothman 21:45
40 Emma Bailey 22:14
51 Richard Starkie 22:50
54 Jen Hird 1:09:56
55 Lee Edwards 1:09:57
74 Jean Rawlinson 1:18:20
The Barlick lads had a cracking run finishing 15th overall on their 12 stage debut.
On the 1st leg Gaz Shaw got the boys off to a solid start. Leg 2 saw Jimmy Craig drag the team up to 26th overall with a great run. Chris Singleton on leg 3 had the run of the day pulling back 6 places. Leg 4 saw Andrew Carson pull another place back. Leg 5 and Julian Hood lost a place with a solid run putting Barlick in 20th overall. Lucas Payne had a great run and consolidated 20th place. Ian Livesey then took centre stage against Ben Fish but lost 2 places in very stiff competition. Nick Treitl soon grabbed a place back bringing the team back into 21st on the next leg. Chris Smale also pulled a place back to bring Barlick back into the top 20 on leg 9. Shaun Chew then pulled back another place to 19th. Tom Corrigan had a storming leg pulling back another 3 places and Steve Chew pulled another back on the last leg leaving the lads in 15th overall and qualifying the team for the national road relays in the process.
Not bad for to say the club has only entered 2 road relays. Brilliant effort from the whole team.
