Sarah Swinhoe triumphs at Watford Half

There were some great race results over the weekend. The ever popular Watford Half Marathon at the weekend had a big Heathside turnout, with stand out results being 3rd man Andy Barnes and first woman Sarah Swinhoe! Also over the weekend was the Warwick Half, Chingford League 5 miles in Victoria Park, the NWLYAL on Hampstead Heath and the South of England Indoor Champs where 3 club records were broken.
