18 Nov 2015 – Derby Midweek Races

Stuart Gregory was the only Stilton Strider to make his way to Derby for their monthly midweek races. In the first race of the night Stuart was joined by a bumper field of 63 runners all hoping for a good time and Stuart was no exception in that respect as he set off at a fairly strong pace and completed the mile in 7m 50s, 30 seconds faster than October and 11 seconds faster than his previous best for the course. In the second race of the night Stuart was joined by another bumper field of 91 runners who were all looking for a good time. After a pacey start to the 5km race Stuart increased his pace over the final mile to the cross the line in a course best time of 28.20, 1 minute 23 seconds faster than his previous course best for the event.  [Stuart]
