19 Sep Speedy Shaun tops the timesheet
Shaun Kirk took the win in the first in-house 3k time trial of the winter, setting his fastest time of the year and the fastest of the 2024 series so far over the course from the end of Preston sea-front back to Tanners Road.
Shaun’s time of 12m 20s gave him a 14-second advantage over second placed Marc Walpot, who also recorded his fastest time of the year. Dani Waters was third overall and first lady in 13m 30s.
Next up was James Nash in 14m 04s, just ahead of Kerry Bell (14m 11s), running her first 3k for a while. Guy Henderson recorded 14m 35s, Vince Langdon 15m 21s and Roger Webb 17m 25s.
The series wouldn’t happen without its loyal team of volunteer marshals, who on this occasion outnumbered the competitors. Many thanks to Colin Peters, Jean Grierson-Jackson, Dave Lee, Liz Lee, John Drennan, Alan Sloman, Lynda Sloman, Steph Bartlett and Bill Bartlett.
