Virtual Medley Road League – Round 2 – 5k (20th/21st Feb)

Virtual Medley Road League continues

Round two of the members-only Medley Road League took place over the week-end and the age graded results confirmed on the Monday evening after, the 22nd February. Round two was a 5k and numbers taking part were up on round one, with nearly 80 adult Club members running the distance on their own within 5k of home on either the Saturday or Sunday, timing themselves with a GPS device and submitting proof of their times. Conditions were good for running, cool and dry, though a bit windy, but like in round one, at least runners could organise their route to keep the wind on their backs for most if not all of the distance, which helped. The times submitted were age graded, which adjusts the times to reflect the effort of someone in their twenties and balances out the results across the wide age range of our adult senior and master members. In round two, the top three places were filled by Eddie Newman, Maurice Looby and Alan Crowley, the same order as in round one, but there was a small change in the top three women places, which were filled by Mary Stuart, Aine O’Reilly and Sinead Whitelaw. Round three is one mile and can be run either on Saturday 6th or Sunday 7th March.
