Twin Piers 10k

What a difference a year makes. In 2012, this race gave us a lovely tailwind which propelled many to PBs. This year, a bitter easterly headwind made life rather more trying: times well down. It didn't stop Jack winning first V70, or Margaret finishing 6th lady overall, and many other good performances from the small band of Buckley runners who headed to the only snow-free corner of Wales for the race!

6. Simon Roberts, 36.35
7. Jez Brown, 36.52
54. Mike Jones?
71. Margaret Ludden, 46.42
111. John Morris, 47.35
195. Jack Thomas, 54.47
