Race Report – Langstone Preview and Devon trials

A small but superb field of runners took part on April 3rd late afternoon race at Peter Tavy.

Juniors

Ten juniors competed across three distances. Superb running from Stanley Wood who took a big lead and was well ahead before taking a wrong turn on the descent adding a big chunk of distance. great character for finishing.

Senior Race

18 runners from a wide range of clubs made this a very competitive race. The course has an unrelenting start with 260m gain in first 2.5k but a very fast last 4k.

Brisk start
Great running from First Lady home
they started fast!
Course record and first place Ceri Rees
Just a few seconds behind and Sam Delling TAC and RM runner
Chasing hard U20 Jamie Frost EVH
5th and 6th working hard but Simon Evans TAC/Dartmoor runners holding it

Front 2 had a tight race with Sam leading until the last descent where the pace and experience of Ceri just edged it.
