MANX HARRIERS RESULTS

The start of the Manx Harriers 50km walk just after 10 am.  

Jeff Cassin had Andi Drake for company for the first hour an a half. Cassin (10) had pulled well clear at half way

.

Steve Partington was tracked by Peter Kaneen in the early stages but was firmly established in third by 12 o’clock.

But an hour later, the top three had all retired and Peter Kaneen, who walked a very sensible race throughout, went on to take victory.  He was on course for a sub 4.30 clocking until the last few laps.

Andi Drake was certainly not going to dehydrate. He had a carefully prepared schedule detailing which lap every drink was to be taken.
