Greater Manchester Marathon, 29/04/12

Review by Jason Chow

Given that my training (which began way back in a wet, cold & windy winter) had gone unnervingly smoothly, perhaps I should have expected some sort of almighty calamity to strike in the 48 hours leading up to the race. That brand of pre-race paranoia that creeps in and makes you visualise Final Destination-esque ways that you might get injured.

Lord Mayor’s 10k 2012

With Kev Lilley out of action through injury, the five times winner of the SRC Lord Mayor’s Cup handed the trophy back to a new winner; and it was Jed Turner who took the title finishing in 17th place and 2nd M50 in a time of 39.01.

He was ably supported by Gary Podmore finishing 24th and 3rd M50 in 40.32 just holding off Steve Davison by a second!

That was enough to give SRC the team award with 66 points. Gary Baker finished 30th and 3rd M45 in 40.48.

Grace Tebbutt returned to racing after an injury lay-off to finish 112th and 15th lady in 47.23 and is looking to get back to fitness and regular racing again.
