King Alfred's Torment
Sunday, 25 September 2005
This year's King Alfred's Torment 7.5mile off-road event at Stourhead saw a number
of Harriers take part including Dickie Wythe who following his fine performance at
Aldershot the day before managed to finish in the top 10 (8th), 4th V40 in 47:29.
Best performance from a Wells vest was delivered by Jon Sharp finishing 5th and 3rd
V40 in 47:05. The event suited the veteran runners with 5 V50's finishing in
the top 21 and Stuart Marsh, having cycled from Glastonbury, still had the energy
to finish 5th in his category in 50:27. As for the rest of the male contingency
- Nicholas Edwards was 45th in 56:21, Alasdair Bell 75th in 61:48, and Simon Jones
88th in 64:37 trying to catch his son who managed to finish a couple of minutes ahead
of him on this occasion. Finally Colin Turner V70 ran very well to finish
137th out of 154 runners in 77:41. 2 ladies competed for the Harriers, both
from Shepton - Sue Cook V35, who had Terry Kingham and Bob Powell's 2004 times as
her target, managed to shave off a few seconds to finish 66th, 4th lady and awarded
1st Vet's prize in 59:17; Lucy Chard V45, who only started competing for the
Harriers this summer, was pleased with her time of 68:18, finishing 109th.
All runners gleefully chomped their way through rock cakes handed out at the finish
and enjoyed a very pleasant run and well organised event courtesy of Yeovil Town
Road Runners.
