Weekend Results, PBs for Helen and Suzanne in KClub, Ian and Gary fly the flag in London.
On Saturday (20th April) the K Club was the venue for latest BHAA race. It is a 10k, held over good flat country roads, and with conditions being good for racing on Saturday, it was an ideal race to chase a fast time. Joe Kelly put in a fine run to finish in 38.11 and Suzanne Foot recorded a new PB of 39.45, almost a minute off her previous best (40.33) and as you can see her first time under 40 minutes. Helen Barry ran an impressive 40.40 and continued her sequence of recording a Pb in each race she has run this year. Full results will be published on www.bhaa.ie
