Virgin London Marathon 2011

</p>

It was a warm day for running but that didn’t stop a host of PBs and club records as 11 Striders did the club proud and nacked up the Kenyans on the streets of London on Sunday. Wayne ‘Marathon man’Usher was first home for the club, followd closely by GPS who smashed his target of 3 hours in his first marathon, coming home inside 2.54. Dave Smeath was next, banishing the demons of past marathons finishing well inside 3 hours. Rachel Vines led the women’s team home in 3.11. A big well done to Malc Smith who ‘hobbled round’, having only decided to run the day before when he was told he couldn’t defer at the Expo!
