Rob passed Kay Coulson, first away and leading the race with half a mile to go and with a watchful eye on quickest in the field Stuart Le Noury coming the other way, soon worked out that victory was secure.

Heritage Group Championship Race Eight

10 miles road walk

Pleinmont to Lancresse, Guernsey

Hot conditions for road walkers

A hot summers morning greeted the walkers for their 10 miles race along the west coast of Guernsey from Pleinmont to Lancresse. Windless for much of the route and avoiding the temptation of the tempting clear high water just metres away, Donna Allan scored a win for the woman with a lonely race at the front of the field to take the honours in  1.41.29. The conditions ruled out any attempt to get close to the Guernsey womens 10 miles best time as she settled for a new personal best instead, only feeling the effects of the conditions late in the race.

In the absence of Championship leader Stuart Le Noury it was a race between Rob Elliott and Phil Lockwood to bring the men home. Elliott secured a gap of 75 metres early on and held it virtually throughout the race. A glance in a convenient shop window with a mile to go showed Elliott the gap which he increased in the final mile. Third man home was Peter Beckerleg followed by Mick Le Sauvage. Jayne Le Noury getting the better of Kay Coulson in the womens race.

Stuart Le Noury leads the way

With a time slower than would normally be expected, Stuart Le Noury had another easy win over 10 kilometres in the fifth race of the Heritage Group Championships.

Donna was the other walker in the race having taken part in the longer event the day before. Phil Lockwood, another quicker than his last race continues to improve after suffering with injury not so long ago.

Kay Coulson, the second woman held off Mick Le Sauvage for fifth place with Dave Dorey completing the line up finishing in just over 80 minutes.

In the handicap section of the race Kay Coulson finished in first place ahead of Phil Lockwood.

7 miles road walk

Albecq to North Side, Guernsey

Le Noury retains traditional Channel Island Ceramics Chilcott Cup

Stuart Le Noury, walking well within his capabilities after time out with a recent injury, retained the Channel Islands Ceramics Chilcott Cup over a distance of 7 miles. Overhauling early leader Rob Elliott around the 3 miles distance on the point to point coastal course between Albecq and North Side he moved away easily to cross the line in just under 65 minutes. 

Elliott dropped another position after 5 miles as Donna Allan, after a customary slow start, went by after passing that mark in 49.30 and moving swiftly ahead to take another two minutes out of him before the finish. Her time of 67.25 was an improvement of two minutes on her previous best time set last year when she lost out to a sprint finish to the man she had just overtaken. This time was also just over a minute slower than the Guernsey Womens record.

Bob Wright Handicap Series Race Seven

5 miles road walk

Lancresse to North Beach, Guernsey 

Kevin Allan wins Bob Wright Series

Kevin Allan did enough in the final race of the Bob Wright Handicap Series to depose wife Donna of the title she won last year. Kevin, in his first 5 mile race held on to the lead in the handicapped event until in sight of the finish when Donna swept past him to take the family honours in the race. They can now decide to agree that both had the race of the day.

Donna took the win in the final event in 47.23 actual time to finish 17 seconds ahead of husband Kevin whose actual time was 57.10. Almost a minute further back was Rob Elliott who recorded the fastest  time of the day with his 47.18. Starting 1.15 behind Donna he made up a small gap in the early miles before having to keep an eye on her back as her lead increased towards the end but managed to keep the gap just small enough.

With knowledge of the fastest 5 miles time set by a Guernsey woman being Jenny Elliotts 1999 time of 48.18 Donna had a target which she duly broke by 55 seconds and in doing so took two minutes off her personal best time set last year.

It was these three walker that finished in the leading positions in the final Bob Wright table, with Kevin in first place with Donna three points behind. Elliott held on to third place on count back after recording equal points with Bob Wrights daughter Jayne Le Noury.

3 kilometres road walk

Cambridge Park, Guernsey

Kevin Allan continues his good form

Kevin Allan continues his good form with a two minutes improvement on his previous best time for the 3 kilometres walk. Although down the field back in eighth equal place with Wendy Wilson, his performance was probably the best of the day.

A chilly morning greeted the walkers who raced over a twisty four lap course with Stuart Le Noury out on his own from the start to finish a few seconds outside of 15 minutes. Also isolated back in second place was Rob Elliott with a satisfying 16.46. Third place in the mens section went to Phil Lockwood who is slowly getting back to form after a lengthy lay off through injury last year. 

Quickest of the women was Donna Allan in 17.44 in third actual position overall, ahead of Olga Le Noury and Wendy Wilson. Wendy finishing only seconds outside of her best time. Kevin Le Noury had Peter Beckerleg in close contention for most of the race, beating him to the line by seven seconds.

Kay Coulson had a good race with her 21.41, whilst Jayne Le Noury lost out to Mick Le Sauvage by only seconds.

Dave Dorey brought up the rear after fading in the second half to cross the line in 23.32.

The next race is the final event in the Bob Wright handicap series over a distance of 5 miles. It is on February 18th at 9.30 am from Lancresse to North Beach, White Rock.
