Conway produces sizzling performance at UTLD
Terry Conway on route at the Lakeland 100
Glorious weather, a superb event and some very worthy winners, graced the Lakeland 100 and 50 mile events this weekend, otherwise know as the UTLD (Ultra Tour of the Lake District)…
Terry Conway was once such winner, producing arguably the performance of the weekend to beat Stuart Mills’ time of 2010 by three and a half hours – running superb 21:58 for the 100 mile route, to win from Andy Mouncey who ran 24:27. Adam Perry and Ireland’s Paul Tierney ran in together in third place running 24:34.
Gaynor Prior came through very strongly in the second half of the event to win the women’s race in a super 28:24, also slicing hours off the 2010 women’s time set by Britta Sendlhofer.
An excellent 96 runners finished this mammoth event
The 50 mile race, setting off in the midday heat from Ullswater, ran the second half of the 100 mile event.
Craig Stewart led for most of the second half of the race, winning in 8:18, some 20 mins up on Ian Symington. Serpentine’s Penny Lenton won the womens race in 11:04.
Full results are now online at Sportident here, with plenty more to come no doubt, over at the UTLD site in terms of photos and video.
