The fifth race of the tour saw Leighton members dominating the leading positions, with four in the first six. The Campbell Park "5" was that race this year and is always put in speech marks because it is actually around 4.4 miles! The great thing is that it has an extremely fast start down hill from the Belvedere to the canal where many of us ran quicker than we did in the track mile race! The problem is that you then have to regain all of that lost height in a long slow drag back up in the second mile, before repeating the lap again.

Glen Turner continued his very impressive week by striding out early on with Pete Mackrell as their long legs made extremely short work of the down hill section. Neither of them really looked back after that as they pounded round the course in very quick times. Glen came home with his second victory of the week to extend his overall lead at the top of the table and almost certainly take the trophy baring disaster tonight. His 23:52 amounted to sub 5:30 miles and Pete's 24:19 was just outside that too.

After Pete's disastrous day on Thursday, his penultimate race has put him back with a chance of catching training partner, Gary Blaber to get on the podium, with an overall gap of 19 seconds to be made up on the long 10K tonight.

Despite the fantastic runs by Glen and Pete, performance of the night, almost certainly went to Jordan Clay. Having been lying in 14th place after four races, he stormed around the central MK course to finish in 6th place on the night, just four seconds behind Andy Inchley. This has moved him up to 12th overall, with Billy being one of the two to lose out.

Billy himself ended up chasing Tom Inchley around the course as they finished in 11th and 12th on the night which meant that they both slipped a little behind in their intra-club battles. Tom is now 23 seconds behind Andy overall, while Billy is 17 seconds down on Jordan with around 6.4 miles to go!

New 30-something Chris Norman decided that getting to the end of the tour is more important than battling for positions, so took the opportunity to cruise around the course with friend and leading lady, Wendy Webber in a touch over 27 minutes. 

Charlie Mead did not have his most auspicious race of the week, but he did insist that he had had a hard day at school and work so there is every confidence that after a relaxing Saturday he'll be back on top form for the final run round Willen. He must have been slightly wary as Chris Williams finished just two places behind as he comfortably broke the half hour and moved up one place overall.

Amy's fear before the tour was that she wouldn't have the strength to get around due to all the months off running. In actual fact she is feeling stronger and stronger as the tour goes on. Her overall position is a little isolated with large gaps in front and behind but all is looking good for a healthy finish.
