Tynedale - tastic!!!
Emma Walton posts this report from the 2010 Tynedale 10k, on Wednesday 7th July.
Wednesday night saw a fantastic turnout of Wallsend athletes with 31 green and gold vest gliding through the lanes of Northumberland. There were some fantastic performances across the board as the Wallsend team picked up no fewer than 6 prizes!!!
It was a warm evening and the race itself had an incredible turnout of over 550 runners – a credit to the course, the fantastic running of the event...as well as the lovely pies at the end (no good if you are on a diet though – eh Munchie?!?). On a serious note thanks to Tynedale for a great event.
The Wallsend contingent gathered at the start ready for the off...the whistle went and the peleton of 550 runners went flying down the hill ready to complete one of the fastest first miles in any race....no doubt everyone went out too fast....I certainly did!!
In the distance ahead all I could see was a tightly packed group of Wallsend Gladiators – Mark Hall, Simon Gibbs, Kenny Mc, Brian Hetherington and Paul Hilton closely followed by Graeme Armstrong, Barry Allsop and the in form Vicky Hindson flying the flag for the wallsend women at the sharp end.
The first runner home for Wallsend was Tony Carter followed by Mark Hall and Simon Gibbs. Well done to Gina Howarth on a fantastic run following some time out following injury – excellent to see Gina back and a great run from Tony Maddocks whose hard work in training is starting to pay off. On a personal note – Kevin - well done and thanks for keeping quiet on passing...I ‘ll let you have this one but I’ll be back!!
Although this was not a night for PB’s there were some brilliant performances which led to the following prizes:
4th Woman - Vicki
2nd Woman team – Vicki, Gina Howarth, Emma
2nd V35 - Emma
2nd V40 - Chrystal
2nd M50 – Barry A
1st V65 – Terry
Congratulations to all – another great Wallsend night! Finally we must not forget to thank our usual hardy supporters so thanks to Bill Todd, SOG, Donna (and bump!) and of course Ian – thank you!
