February was another quieter month for racing in GRC with representation from 38 runners. Round 3 of the club Grand Prix series took place around the hilly roads of the Stamford countryside, in the 30k Valentines race. There were also 10k races at Bolsover and Skegness, and the very popular Rauceby Ripper Race.
Nominees
Gavin Potter has been nominated for his performances in the Skegness 10k and the Stamford 30k, where he achieved 72.94% and 73.08% age gradings, finishing in 37:38 and 01:58:29 respectively.
Karl Clark took part in the Rasselbock ultra event at Hardwick Hall, completing an impressive 9 laps in the 6 hour time limit, equating to 33 miles.
Running a new person best round the caravans in the Skegness 10k was Anne Fleming, who finished in a time of 55:57, giving her an age grading of 68.33%.
Runner up
The Runner up for February is Sam Caton. Sam defied his own expectations at the Skegness 10k bagging himself a shiny new personal best and his first sub-50 time, crossing the line in 49:13.
Winner
The Winner of Member of the Month for February is Marjorie Spendlow. Marj is currently training for the virtual London marathon, and those long training runs have clearly paid off, as she achieved a new personal best at the Skegness 10k with a time of 50:25 and a 71.64% age grading. Marj also deserves credit for her consistent involvement in run leading, helping out other members of the club.
Well done Marj, Sam and all the other nominees.
