 Perfect weather conditions in Flitwick on Sunday where six squirrels turned out to run the Flitwick 10K with little or no wind and a fair bit of sunshine. The course was very undulating with some nasty hills late on in the race, but recent efforts at NHRR hill training sessions have obviously paid off. Mark Vaughan was the first squirrel home, picking up the trophy for 1st V40 in the race and a new 10k PB of 33:56. Others running were Claire O’Sullivan finishing in 50:28, a new PB. Ian Sutcliffe finished in 53:09, a new PB. New member Gina Joseph crossed the line in 53:09. Sue Vaughan coming back from injury finished in 58:15 and Helen Ferguson finished in 1:01:11. Included photo included from Flitwick 10k. Left to right, Claire O’Sullivan, Mark Vaughan, Sue Vaughan, Gina Joseph, Helen Ferguson, Ian Sutcliffe.
