Once again BVH had some great results at the Fakenham 5k, although there was some very sad news for Michael as he was beaten by son Billy! Billy led right from the start and on this 5 lap course it was easy to keep tabs on the race. The distance between them on each lap was very close until the final lap when Billy made an extra big effort and beat Michael by 3 seconds.
Billy was first overall and Michael 2nd. The other members of the Eccles family did well too with Joanne 3rd lady overall and first lady 35-39. Eva was 4th lady overall and 2nd senior lady and Belle is improving with every race.
Full results as follows:-
Billy Eccles 16.24.
Michael Eccles 16.27.
Matt Stone is really getting back to his best finishing 2nd V50 in 19.37.
Steven Elvin was 2nd V60 in 20.04.
Joanne Watkins 20.16.
Eva Eccles 20.53.
Belle Watkins 22.50.
Poppy Balaam running her first race and looking strong ran 24.44.
Simon Alcock first 5k as a 55+ in 27.19.
Sally Porter had a much better run today in 36.26.
We also had a member to be, Alfie Balaam, running the 1k race.
Well done all.
