First 2009 Metropolitan League Results
The first Metropolitan League match of the 2009 / 2010 season got under way at Ruislip on Saturday 10th of October.
Senior men:
2nd Sam Farah - his best ever Met League placing and
staked a solid claim for inclusion in the A team at next week's
National 6 stage road relays. Very good run, obviously aided by having
to run the last two miles to the course after Bob Smith ran out of
petrol in the backwaters of Ruislip.
8th Scott Sterling - built on his good showing at
Aldershot where he was the fastest runner in the B team. Finished
strongly, picking up places all the way. Unusual warm-up included
driving Bob Smith to his crippled fuelless car with a jerry can.
20th Harun Abdi - first ever cross country race for
the 18 year old. Highly impressive. Will be interesting to watch his
likely improvement this winter.
73rd Andre Duque - stopped to fasten shoe on second lap and lost ten places. Will come on for this run and finish top 50 soon.
123rd Ben Hellmers - held things together nicely as
the race progressed. Prefers heavier conditions to the sub tropical
weather rest of us enjoyed yesterday.
186th Jason Crispin - ran well and is clearly in good
nick. There were 329 finishers - two of the non-finishers being the
luckless Olly Laws (strained hip) and Colin Jenkins
Despite only fielding a team of 6 the team were fourth in Division 2, Team Manager Bob Smith said, "as soon as we field 12 in a race, we'll win".
