TVH medal harvest in Middlesex 10k

TVH racked up highly creditable medal haul at the Middlesex 10k Championships in Victoria Park.

The senior men’s team clinched bronze, spearheaded by committed performances from Simon Prigent (13^th place in 34:08) and James Ellis (16^th place in 34:31).

Simon, making his TVH debut, ran a controlled race throughout and finished impressively, enjoying the full benefit of his current marathon training.

James went out hard and battled with the leaders for much of the race before the effect of his recent injury took hold in the latter stages.

Andrew Mitchell rounded out the three scorers, clocking 35:23 for 28^th place in his first race back from injury and winning a V40 Middlesex silver medal.

The results secured third place for TVH in the senior’s team standing, just a couple of places behind Serpentine, in turn a couple of places behind winners Heathside.

The V50 team scooped deserved silver Middlesex medals, courtesy of a strong set of performances from Richard Hooley in 40:33 (5^th V50 Middlesex), David Ford, 45:19 (10^th V50 Middlesex) and Nick Michael, 52:51 (19^th V50 and 7^th V60 Middlesex)

While the gusty conditions kept most competitors a few seconds below their best times, there were good PBs from Jake Hooley (36:44, 23^th place / 2^nd  U18 Middlesex man) and Paul Woodgate, dipping just under 39 minutes in 44^th place.

Paul’s run leaves him as hot favourite to clinch the TVH Endurance Cup with just one race left, the Southern Road Relays on September 25.

Manuel Caiero (37:06) ran with great promise and Scott Brewer (41:20) stuck at it well even though the distance was some way beyond his preferred middle distance.

Andrea Broughton led the ladies home in 51:56 for 62^nd place, while Christine Munden selflessly supported her friend Rose who has only just taken up running, encouraging her round the course in a time of 69 minutes.
