Hot news off the press. All three of our gallant visitors to Mauritius stood on the podium this morning. In the 10K Vicky was first lady in her class and won a gold medal and Lyndall was 3rd senior lady winning a bronzie. Martin completed the half marathon in testing conditions and finished 2nd V60 in 1,47.13. Photos to follow!

| She's a winner! |
And here she is standing on the podium - first V60 lady at the Mauritius 10K holding up her prize - a fresh pineapple. She failed to hear her name being read out on the tannoy because she just wasn't expecting a placing (modest to herself as usual). She also won a nice little gold medal as a memorable souvenir together with the bright red running vest which will soon be seen round the parkruns of North Wales and Cheshire. Not only was it hot and hilly but the second half was straight into a fairly stiff sea breeze. To add to that we were virtually just off the plane after a 12 hour flight so a very respectable time indeed! The pineapple was flambed by the chef at our hotel that evening - very tasty.
Pictured below are the silver and bronze medallists enjoying their brief moments of glory!
