Liverpool Half Marathon

A bunch of five athletes ran in Liverpool on a perfect day for running, if anything it got a little too warm running back toward Liverpool down the prom. Gemma Connolly (1st Senior Female, 1:21:23) managed to win the open race despite being a little disappointed with her time, putting it down to heavy training. Barry Graney (58th V45, 1:36:07) also ran much slower than he would have liked, for exactly the opposite reason. Peter Code (62nd V50, 1:47:55) was next home, followed by Collette Flaherty (77th V40, 1:58:47) finishing well under the two hour mark with Linda White (32nd V50, 2:01:47) completing the turn out.
