Photographs from The Barrow 10 on Sunday 29 June 2003

Phew - what a scorcher!
Sixteen brave (or is it foolish?) Striders slapped on the Factor 25, sunglasses and sunhats to run in 80 degrees of melting heat for the Barrow 10. The course, which is challenging even in cool conditions, was made even more so by the unforgiving sun, and little breeze. This was not a day for PBs, but there were some sterling performances even so. We all deserved a pint or two at the end of this one!

Thanks to Emma for taking the photographs again.

Francis, Richard, Nick and Phil make the most of the last bit of shade before the start.	Nick stretches his pelvic muscles and goodness only knows what Phil is stretching!

Andy forges ahead at the front of the pack.	The new slim line, tee-total, 'fast Dave'	Emma flashing by.	Phil keeps his bottle!

Clive in a tussle with four other runners.	Karen overtakes one runner and works hard to catch the next.

Francis wisely keeps his hat on.	Jo 'taking in the rays' along the way.	Having overtaken one of them, Julie goes in search of the other 'Men at Work'

How can Nick be enjoying himself in THIS HEAT?	Sue's group open up a gap on those behind.

Carl put in a good performance following his honeymoon!	Fresh from the London Marathon, Steph swaps The Mall for Babington Road!
