Last Wednesday saw Tom Lynch and Tom Pomfrett take part in the Hyde Park Summer Mile. This race is run on a two-lap triangular course, in heats, dependent on your predicted time.

Lynch said: “Due to quite a lot of rain in the day, the course was pretty slippery in places which meant a fairly slippery starting straight and first corner, making it feel quite hard to get going.”

Lynch finished in a time of 5:33.6, with Pomfrett a short distance behind in 5:46.8.

The race was won by Adam Stacey in 4:48.5. The first woman was Hannah Oldroyd (Saltaire Striders) in 5:13.0.
