Last weekend was the Dartmoor Discovery on the Saturday and Devon Open Track and Field meeting in Plymouth on the Sunday.
The Dartmoor Discovery is a tough 32 mile ultra held over the roads of Dartmoor and is a tough challenge made ever worse this year
by heavy rain showers. We had four runners taking part with Simon Fitze finishing in 10th place overall
Together with Chris Prall and Tim Steer they were 3rd men’s team.
Our only lady competitor was Jenny Hayes who did well to finish in 5 and a half hours in her debut ultra.
Well done to all of them. Results are shown here (marathon time in brackets)
10 Simon Fitze 4.13.46 (3.15.27)
30 Chris Prall 4.53.36 (3.53.01)
61 Tim Steere 5.25.41 (4.13.51)
76 Jenny Hayes 5.34.16 (4.27.28)
