New Years
Day Two Bridges, Bideford, 01/01/2004
2004
dawned with a rather windy but thankfully dry morning for the first race of the
year. Andrew Ingle got away
from
the rest of the field early and the further he ran, the further he won by with
an eventual margin of 37 seconds
to the
second place Peter Hockin. Kirsty Hamilton clocked the fastest ladies time,
marginally quicker than Elizabeth
Higgins,
and amongst the juniors running the two mile course, Dan Mapp led from the off
and held off the challenges
of
Craig Bellew and Adam Glover. When the team prizes had been worked out, team E
emerged victorious, so
congratulations
go the three Okes - Ben, Jessica and Andy together with Simon Lacey

(87 entrants did not divide neatly into teams. To make the teams as equal as
possible, some teams had a senior time
halved
to make up a the rough equivalent of a junior time, while team V had the average
of all junior times added to
make
the fourth element)
Devon Cross
Country Championships, Exeter, 04/01/2004
The
"Bronze runner" is back home! For the ninth time in the last ten
runnings, our senior men’s squad emerged victorious
from
the Devon Cross Country Championships. To go with their overall win, we picked
up three more gold medals, the
veteran
men’s team, the under 13 Girls team, and individually Kay Eastwood in the
ladies O/55 category. Jon Ward ran
an
excellent race to finish second and head the senior men’s team to their
triumph, while also in that race Peter Hockin
took
2nd O/40, Bill O’Donnell 3rd O/40 and Andy Jewell 3rd O/45. Helen Parkinson
had earlier finished third senior lady (and
led
our three lady squad to second team), and the U/17 boys team were a close second
to a strong North Devon AC team.
Team results - U/13 Girls - 1st, U/13 Boys - 4th, U/15 Boys - 4th, Sen. Men -
1st, Sen. Ladies - 2nd, Vet Men 1st,.Other
age
group teams were incomplete.

Reebok Cross
Country Series, Cardiff, 18/01/2004
Just
like last year Kevin Heywood crossed the Severn to race in Cardiff, and after
recovering from an injury was
pleased
to finish 21st (29:02)
South of
England Cross Country Championships, Parliament Hill, 25/01/2004
After
a mix-up regarding entry dates, we only had senior men representing the club at
Parliament Hill. Jon had a
great
start, being in the lead pack early on, but as the race went on Kevin closed on
him only for time to run out
and
Jon just held him off to be first Blues home. The men's team closed out in 16th
overall, of over 100 teams.
