Fleet Half Marathon

Not happy with his time at Hastings seven days earlier, Hassan Raidi turned his attention to Fleet and spearheaded a posse of Belgravians, mostly coached by Dave Lucas and all focussing on the London Marathon in a few weeks time. Eliot Lyne and Warren Lynch were just a little slower than Guildford but well on track for the marathon while John Clarke (coached by Paul Evans) reduced his best ever by a massive three minutes in spite of suffering from a cold. Junior Galley was 20 seconds faster than last year and was awarded the first veteran's prize. Tilly Heaton came down a further minute from her run at Guildford three weeks ago and was once again in the main prizes.
