Also, for those who remember former Straggler Hannah Storm who now runs for New Forest Runners, she clocked 3:51:59.
Away from London five Stragglers headed to the seaside for the Brighton Marathon. Conditions were great for racing until the latter stages, with all five finding the strong headwind in the last four miles tough.
First over the line was Ian Knight in a PB-earning 3:08:05. Marathon debutant Aaron Israel was next in 3:17:09. Malcolm Davies and Simon Webb were competing with one another at 20 miles, both with 3:15 in their sights, however both slowed, Malcolm less so, and both clocked new personal bests of 3:19:13 and 3:22:06 respectively. Simon was guided on the day by Jim Desmond and Kevin Price. Completing the set of personal bests or debut runs was Helen Davies with her first ever marathon in 3:48:51.
A week earlier, Neil Carrington completed the Kent Spring Marathon' in 3:38 on what he tells us was “a tough course”. Marathon-machine Noel Hollingsworth was a couple of minutes ahead in 3:36.
I hope we've got everybody here but if anybody has run a marathon this spring, please let us know.
