Trimpell 20 Road Race

Six Skipton runners (five in prep for the London Marathon and one just for fun?!) headed to Lancaster 02/03/08 for the Trimpell 20 road race. A bright and windy day proved to be perfect conditions for the race which ran along the Lune Valley Cycle trail. Four runners achieved PB’s and one a new title. Steve Hall had a fantastic run and breezed home first in 2.29 (PB) followed by Jerry (Junior) Lamb 2.42 (PB) who was determined to beat Dad, Mike who just went for the day out. Senior Lamb had by mile 3 collected a group of assorted runners who he paced round the course and who gave him the title ‘The Colonel’ – came home in 2.48 (it was chasing the woman in pink that kept him going) Cath Coates did as she was told in 2.53. Bill Smith had two PBs that day 2.59 for the run and 00.00.25 for the downing of the Mars bar at the finish. Tim Coates completed the course in 3.06 (PB) and won the prize for best blisters on both feet – is that why he was seen running barefoot up the park last week?
