Hyde Park Relays
Saturday saw UL's runners descend upon Hyde Park for the annual relay race around the Serpentine. The teams had been decimated by various cases of man flu (& whatever the female equivalent is), but 10 hardy runners persevered to produce some impressive results.
In the women's race Hannah Carmichael (Kings) led the team out, completing her 3.5km leg in just over 14.30. She was backed up with strong runs from Kelly Thorneycroft (UCL) in 14.26 and Hayley Cameron (UCL) in 14.00. Anna Ferguson (Kings) then brought the team home safely in 13.29 to secure an impressive 7th place overall for the team.
On the men's 5.2km course, Jonny Laybourn (UCL) started proceedings with a first leg of 17.43. It deserves a special mention that Jonny then not only ran 2 more legs, but completed all 3 of his legs in pretty decent times. Alex Macaulay (UCL) went 1 second faster in 17.42. Rob Doyle (UCL) and Andrew Lennard (UCL) both dipped just under 19 minutes for their legs and Tom Grimley (Kings) brought the team home in 19.22. A personal thanks must go to Tom Beedell for coming into the team at short notice, when I was unable to run, and smashing out a 16.40. This was a great help in securing 12th place for the team.
Well done and thank you to all those who ran, full results are attached.
