17 Musketeers represented their club with honour in the Plymouth 10km which attracted 1,129 runners.
They were probably outnumbered by the numbers marshalling – all shamelessly bribed with free race entries.
Those less money-minded citizens did fantastically well, especially in the age categories and there cannot be many clubs who were so high up the age ratings for such a relatively small entry – quality rather than quantity shines through.
1) Rich M led the Muskie pack at 72nd finishing in 41.40 in 48th in age group.
2) Stan K 153rd, 45m 1sec, 20th in age.
3) Craig F 169th, 45.32, 103rd
4) Miranda K 288, 49.06, 8th.
5) Jenny K 313th, 48.06, 7th
6) Annette 428th. 51.43,7th.
7) Vic H 451st, 53, 7th.
8 ) Johnny K 498th, 54.09, 19th
9) Donna B 535th, 54.5, 12th.
10) Sam G 553rd, 55.19, 20th.
11) Michael P 614th, 56.09, 26th.
12) Anita C 629th, 55.57, 8th.
13) Ian L 743, 58.51, 68th.
14) Tracey C 746, 58, 21st.
15) Doug L, 933rd, 1h 3m, 80th.
16) Kerry F 934th, 1h 5m, 171st.
17) Kathryn G 1,078th, 1h 13m, 24th.
It is a shame there was not more of a goody bag for those who did so well, but were not among the prizes. Even marshals got t-shirts.
Among those with personal bests were Kerry, by virtue of this being her first ever race for the Muskies, Johnny also and congratulations to those who I have not mentioned as I did not speak to everyone and some people ran under different names or did not run, but some ran for them instead, very confusing!
