Belles hanging in there

Back in the team under a new name Louise Blizzard set the ball rolling for the Belles, running a time that compared well with her previous outings over the course. For Aldershot, Emily Wicks sent the eventual winners on their way to glory with 6th place. New member Amy Linford nicked six places with our fastest run of the day on stage two before handing on to Tilly Heaton who gained another five spots. The forward momentum was maintained by Vicki Goodwin, bravely running after losing her Mum just a week earlier.
