Les Croupiers 5K Time Trial: Les Croupiers Running Club

Pontcanna Fields.

Thursday, 17 August

We had the biggest entry (79) for the 7th holding of this event and a record 72 finished.

In what would have appeared good conditions fast times seemed hard to come by but there were some notable perfomances by veterans.

Richard Bullen’s time of 16:36 looked safe until Dave Williams started last. Although Dave passed several earlier starters he finished just 12 seconds outside the club’s eternally youthful treasurer.

Richie’s time put him 3rd on the alltime Vet 40 list and 1st on the Vet45.

A late replacement for Richard Sewell, Sandy Johnston ran 18:17 for 3rd on the all time Vet 50 list and 1st Vet 55.

Claire Beatty got round in 20:17 which was good enough to win the ladies race but recent addition Lindsay Emyr ran her close with 20:33

Julie Scholey posted 21:01 for 5th Vet 40 and 2nd Vet 45.

In the Team race, Scott Howell, Deb Green, and Liz Mellett were 79 seconds clear of second place due in no small part to Deb’s 90s improvement over the distance.
