A good day for a half-marathon as this year’s Stride Against Cancer 2019 began at 6am sharp. Cooler weather and low wind had runners performing very well and hoping for Island Games qualifying times

Straight from the off it was Patrick Harfield proving why he is he is one of Cayman’s best runners as he hammered out a 6 minutes per mile pace and hoped for an over 40’s personal best performance. Unfortunately the turn around was slightly further than expected and everyone ended running around 700-800 meters longer than the accredited distance of 13.1 miles (according the the gps watches runners showed to me) and worth at least 3 minutes off everyone’s time, and therefore, the performances would have been even quicker than the results show. 

Patrick’s time of 1:19.43 was very impressive as was Cayman’s running legend Chadwick Webster who came second in 1:25.25 and still beats the young guns. Esmond Brown’s time of 1:26.08 is decent for third and Abraham Whittaker’s very hard training regime showed its results as he came home in fourth place in a time of 1:29.08. Another very much improved distance runners is Peter Kendall who was only 10 seconds behind Abraham for fifth spot.

In the ladies race, it was the ever consistent Olivia Shanks who reigned supreme and did very well to run under 90 minutes and was way ahead of her nearest rivals. Second and third were fairlyclose with Martine Fitzgerald ahead of third place Charlote Cloese by just over one minute. In forth and fifth it was Alyssa Dodson and Nadine Grey who cam in together.

Thanks to Jen, Vic and the team at CICS for putting on another good event.
