The 142nd edition of the Street 5k race took place last Wednesday January 9th. Mike Pearce of Crewkerne Running Club swept to victory just ahead of the Harrier's Paul Maskell. It was a personal best for each of them. Mike's time places him 2nd nationally for the V40s over this distance so far in 2013, and follows on his excellent Budapest marathon time of 2.45 from October.

Paul's marathon training has been going really well too and this was his 2nd race in 4 days- a period  which also included the hard Tuesday night session with the Harriers. For the ladies Emily Smith was first home in 18.43 with Harrier team-mate Charlotte Baker home in 19.36 - the first of the four excellent performances on the night by the fabulous Baker family.

For a full set of times and positions after 4 races see to the right. For the Series it is the best 5 results (of 6) that count. See you next month for edition number 143.
