Bedford and Keyworth Half Marathons - Jill Sparkles Mark's Magic
12/12/2010
Two of Braintree & District Athletic Clubs runners took part in Half Marathons in different parts of the country at the weekend.
Jill Rush ran her first ever half marathon in Bedford on Sunday.
It was a hilly course with icy patches on the road making the course fairly hazardous.
Despite the conditions, Jill finished in 90m 13s, an amazing time for a debut half.
She came 172nd overall in a field of 2200 and was second Vet 35 Lady.
After a month off with an injury, Mark Jackson competed in the Keyworth Turkey Trot half marathon in Nottinghamshire.
He came 477th out of 750, in a time of 1 hour 55 minutes, a great performance overall.
The Keyworth event was a very pleasant run, great conditions, lovely scenery and very well organised by the local scouts.
Mark thoroughly recommends this race as one for the annual calendar.
