It has been encouraging to see the average age of the leading runners in the Ascot Hotel 10km decline and, not surprisingly therefore, the average time declining. Early leader, 22 year old Alan Corlett knocked 1:35 off his personal best to finish second in 33:35. He is trailed by eventual winner, 26 year old Andy Barron whose time of 33:27 was 1:20 better than his 2010 time set before long term injury. Four of the top 6 were under 28 – the way it should be.
