the woof with the smooth ..winner Conor Dolan warms down with his coach
There was a brilliant turnout at Brickens for the second running of their 5k in our Summer series. The Series seems to have really taken off this year with a great atmosphere at all the events. Brickens had a field of 188 – over 50 more than 2013. Conditions were not quite as hot as last year, but nobody complained in the lovely evening sun while a gentle breeze helped cool the brows of participants around the one lap course. Ambrose Gaughan marshaled his troops excellently, and was well supported by members and local organisers. The event went very smoothly from registration to finish line. The all important details – contained in results files below including one of all four Series races. Well done to the recorders and compilers who produced them. Conor Dolan won his fourth series race in succession and Catherine Conway was first woman home for the third time. Well done to all finishers, Thanks to Ambrose Gaughan for Brickens pics, you can view more of them here:
