On 11 May it was my turn to do the Trunce.  Once of the best road runners in South Yorkshire Daniel Chan does the Trunce and other fell races regularly so they must be good for strength and conditioning!

Despite having done the ultra only 8 days before (and the 1500m the day before) I was up for this one and I ran a PB by almost a minute, conditions were excellent but a bit of a head wind on the road section.

2 days after the Trunce I ran the final race in the South Yorkshire Road League, this was at Oxspring (the same car park as the Trunce) This was an official 5 mile race according to Power of 10 (the only one of the 4 which is) so I got an official PB for 5 miles finishing with a time of 29:46.  Breaking 30 minutes has been a psychological barrier but its smashed now.  I wanted to break 29 but it was not to be on the night.

The race and league was won by Daniel Chan, Barnsley AC.

Doncaster AC had great success in the road league this year, as this race met the standard for Power of 10 to be classified as a 5 mile road race, as such looking at national rankings, Caroline Wheelhouse is ranked number 1 V55 lady, Kevin Newman is ranked number 1 V55 Man, Simon Wright is ranked No 2 V50 man, Mick Page is ranked 5th V60 man and Philip Bussey is ranked 5th V65 man.
