17th March: With 3,000 runners taking part in the local Bradford 10k we were all tightly packed in at the start in Centenary Square under the shadow of the City Hall. Once on the out and back route though we were bathed in sunshine but there was quite a gust blowing as everyone made their way back to the city. The VS contingent picked up three virtual age group medals; Amanda Spencer 44:46 (1st F50), David Herdsman 34:35 (1st M40) and Ken Fox 42:34 (3rd M60). Tony Haygarth was incredibly close to a sub-60m in the M70 category and was joined over the line by four other Striders before the hail started.
