Windle Valley Runners again make their mark on this year’s
Windsor Half Marathon
The kick off was 1300 and the weather had warmed up
considerably. When I arrived just before the start, I pitched up at the Copper
Horse (statue of King George 111 for all you history buffs) in a matter of no
time, a large crowd of supporters had gathered and were yelling out as many
names and clubs they could feast their eyes upon.
After about seven or eight minutes I spotted the first of
the Windle consignment wearing her first claim vest. Laura, looking very
comfortable. At around the six mile mark, she still looked good and running a
steady pace. Next on the Windle menu came Miles wearing a large grin. Obviously
enjoying the race! Wendy flew by very soon afterwards followed by Chris
sporting his Windle colours.
A little while later, Alex thundered through wearing a
sponsored tee shirt and smiling to boot. Caught a very quick glimpse of Amanda,
threading her way through the field.
Lyn was the last of the Valley troupe. Nursing an old back
injury, she had decided to walk most of the course and was taking her time as
she stopped to have a chat with me.
Have not any results as to date but I am sure they will be
up on the net very soon.
Laura looked very strong on the home straight with about 2K left to eat up followed by Miles crunching those miles, chased by Chris and
Wendy a little further back. Well done to all the Windle Valley Team.
