adidas London Half Marathon, Silverstone - 18/03/07
Let the story be told - Bushfield Joggers' beat Nigel Mansell in a race at Silverstone!  OK, this was a half marathon, and Nigel's first, but what the heck - it's the result that matters!  Having said that, what a race!  The Silverstone circuit is not renowed for protection from the elements - it is somewhat exposed - so gale force winds and 2 hail storms do not make for ideal conditions.  3 Bushies took part, and their results are as follows:
Tom (Triple T) Johnson 01:50:34 (1971), Mandy Cook 02:03:47 (3622),
Alan Miles 02:04:31 (3689) - 6103 finishers
