Ultra Madness

On 1st June, seven brave souls pushed themselves to the limit with the 35 mile Northants Ultra starting out from the lovely Lamport Hall.  Sometimes people say Northants is a flat county but if you talk to any of these people, they will tell you otherwise.
 
Tony Letts finished 7th overall in the event timed at 5:00:55, pretty impressive eh?  Matt Brand took part last year and finished in 5:26:38, 14th overall.

Jon Panter had a storming run and looked pretty fresh at the end after 6:24:10 on his feet.  Richard Cormack, also a veteran from last year and smashed 90 minutes off his time too - 7:12:57.

Pete Moor hit legendary status by smashing the Edinburgh Marathon one week, deciding to enter this ultra on a whim and then smashing it in 7:17:51.

Jocelyn Granger loves a challenge and was back for more for her second appearance and again put together a good team - 7:23:59
Andy Cottrell 7:50:42 completed a fabulous line up that was well supported by a cheering crowd of NRR at the finish line.
 
Everybody stayed until the end to cheer all on until Andy crossed the finish line (including Tony and Matt who had finished earlier), that is what makes this club so proud.  Well done all.
