PBs galore… off to the pub to celebrate. 

Bupa London 10k 2015 Lisa Tracy & Siana TVH’s Ladies Team after the race.  

Andrew Mitchell reports:

First home was Matthieu Ribault who extended his strong recent form to cross the line on 33:06 – a PB by more than half a minute and good enough for 80th place overall.

 

A characteristically strong second half of the race saw Matthieu finish just 10 seconds behind women’s winner Jo Pavey. A little further back, Andrew Mitchell also clocked a PB of 34:30, putting him at 145th overall and fourth in the 45+ division.

 

Tracy Barlow led a strong TVH women’s team, cutting nearly three minutes from her PB to finish in in 18th place, She was closely followed by Lisa da Silva who put a tough run the previous weekend behind her to take 32nd place in 36:14 – more than a minute inside her best. Lisa took the spoils in the da Silva household too as Manuel couldn’t quite sustain a fast early pace, finishing in 37:07.

 

Siana Jones ran strongly to clock 41:13, while Scott Brewer held a steady pace throughout to clock 41:14 – nearly four minutes inside his previous best. Peter Hill showed he’d recovered from his London Marathon exertions, recording 43:28, while Jo Mobed secured a creditable 43:41 in her first 10k.

 

Andrea Broughton notched up 25th place in her division with a time of 48:37 and Nick Michael claimed 39th position in his division with 51:15. Kate Green’s finishing time of 51:06 was spoiled by her having to stop, making her strong second half of the race even more commendable.
