Tim Dowling small

After showing good improvement lately, Somerset runner, Tim Dowling, on Sunday won the Motors 6 kilometre handicap which started at the Penguin motocross track. Dowling had put the writing on the wall with a good fifth two weeks ago in a similar race at Burnie.

He said the improvement was due to a special eight week training programme he and his training partner, Louise Morse, had undertaken. It has certainly paid dividends, with Morse finishing a close tenth after being in front with just two kilometres to run.

This was Dowling’s first victory with the club, since he joined four years ago. He originally ran in the shorter nominated time events, as, in his words, “I was unable to run even five kilometres”. Now he takes part comfortably in races up to ten kilometres.

Continuing his recent run of great form, Ricky Brown was a close second with Chris Purton. having his best finish for the year, next across the line.

Other top runs were turned in by Liz Murton and Barry Ling with Thomas Wilson an excellent 11th from a back mark.

Wilson was also fastest male (20:51) with Bec O’Garey (24:35) fastest female.

Nominated time winners were Laura and Annette Wilson, Jennifer Fuller and Brian Payne.
