Deal Dinosaur 10K
– Race Report by Spencer Hoult –
Deal dinosaur 🦕 10k
9 club members turned out for this years 42nd Deal dinosaur 🦕 10k race and it was nice to see Tim and Sorcha who haven’t raced for a while.
I was Adjudicating and the race all went well.
It was a warm one, but the weather was kind too as it clouded over and there was a drizzle 🌧️. Nearly perfect racing conditions.
There was a tough hill to contend with, then a down hill to the home stretch.
The last mile or so got hard as the sun ☀️ came out again, but overall it was a really nice race and a great Thanet Roadrunners turn out.
Four of as headed off together and 3 of us got PB’s (Chris, Elizabeth and Robbie). Congratulations to them!
One of our own juniors ‘Olly’ also got a PB, came 4th overall and got the Under 21 trophy. Congratulations to him too.
Race Results:
4 – Olly Regan – 37:34 – 1st Under 21 (PB)
21 – Steve Suttle – 45:18 – 2nd V60
28 – Spencer Hoult – 46:11
34 – Chris Brown – 46:52 (PB)
74 – Robbie Weatherley-Day – 52:30 (PB)
75 – Elizabeth Brown – 52:33 (PB)
173 – Tim Kerr – 1:07:30
179 – Sorcha Page – 1:08:14
212 – Gaynor Shelvey – 1:58:38
Well done everyone. Was a hot and humid day (as always for the Deal 10K). A great performance as always from Steve Suttle who tried to retain his V60 crown, but missed out by a few seconds.
Finally I think we could all learn a lot from Gaynor Shelvey, who has perfected the post race protein recovery meal!
