Jenny Spink finished forty-ninth overall and sixth (second Briton) in the Ladies race at the Cardiff Half-Marathon on Sunday 2nd October 2016 in 74:58. Afterwards she admitted that she had gone off very hard to try and stay as close to the Kenyan athletes as possible but paid for the strong start in the later stages of the race. Nevertheless it allowed her to lay to rest her previous experience over the same course when a torn calf muscle caused her to pull out at the eleven mile point of the World Half-Marathon in March 2016. Other club finishers were as follows:
111 Nick Brenchley 79.33
141 Daryl Phillips 80:53 (PB)
151 Steve Swan 81:20
262 Neil Light 84:35
328 Ben Andrews 86:31
860 Tracy Allan 92:47
1,289 Tanya Chowdhury 97:56
At the time of writing this blog only the first 1,500 finishers appear on the Run Britain web-site.
