There were 218 finishers including 58 females. Hannah's top ten finish was a minute quicker than last September.

Petts Wood Ladies are 10th out of 16 ladies team, one place above Dartford.

Petts Wood Men proved they can live at this level, the highest in the country for such an event. The men are in 11th place in the league out of 13 teams and we are only going to get better.

This is a truly impressive start.....we have established ourselves! Well done to James, Nick and Silky on their debut and an impressive start to Petts Wood Ladies.
Hannah put in a time equivelant to 6.17 per mile over the toughest course in the league.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The organisers have confirmed the course is marginally long at 3.30 miles therefore Hannah was doing 5 minute mileing (albeit and a handfull of seconds!). The times were great, to put it into context Theodora broke the eight minute mile marker and Bens time broke the seven minute mile.

I would like to congratulate every member of that Petts Wood Team who chisselled vital seconds for the team.
As soon as I have the spreadsheet of results I will post them up.

Those that enjoyed the rich array of dockland style on the way to the pub can be forever save in the knowledge that they have seen one of the last vestiges of riverside life from a past era.

Great performance team Petts Wood
