It was a much quieter weekend but we still had athletes taking part in Half marathons
Alison Engledew did the Barnstaple Half finishing 1st Female Vet 60 in overall 159th place
Her time was 1.49.01
Meanwhile the Lane’s took part in the Robin Hood half in Nottingham
Lindsay did 1.58.54 and Richard 2.05.45
