Four Axe Valley Runners travelled to Bath for the much-postponed half-marathon, with Matt Frost finishing an excellent 208th.
Just two weeks after completing the London marathon Matt wasn’t sure how his legs would be. He also took a tumble in the first mile but managed to get into a rhythm to finish in 1:24.01, his second fastest half marathon.
Second AVR home was Tom Parsons in 1:48.30, in a superb PB. After a hampered build-up with a hamstring injury, Carol Austin was pleased with her 1:50.00, sixth F60. Ron Seward was 48th M65 with a time of 1:53.36.
Simon Dimmock was delighted with his sub-1:10 and an excellent 605th at the Great South Run, a popular 10-mile race along the seafront from Southsea to Portsmouth. His 1:09.41 was just 15 seconds off his time last year despite a build-up hampered by knee problems. Shaun Vinnicombe’s target was to finish, which he did in 2:13.21.
