A Little Bit of History

In clearing out his cupboards before moving house recently, long standing member Dave Crawley came across some old records, one of which was the the Hatch End 5 results from 1982!

In that race LBAC had six people running under 28 minutes, including club vice president Geoff Roe and former club captain, secretary, chairman and now triathlon club member Steve Goodlad. However, the most notable point was that first home for the club was Dave Walsh, whose 24:52 is actually a club record. These days there are not many people in the club who can run one 4:58 mile, let alone 5 back to back!

All of the club records were compiled a few years ago by Andy when he set up the website, but these were done on the ancient results held by Geoff Roe and Richard so there may be the odd one out there like this that is actually quicker than stated. If anyone else finds one then feel free to let Andy know.
