Grisedale Horseshoe English Championship Race

14th September 2019Rachel

The weekend brought the 5th race of the English Championship to Glenridding. After all the rain of the past weeks the sun shone. The race is a medium counter which takes in the summits of Catsycam, Helvellyn and St Sunday. It’s a race with a good mix of running, tough climbs and steep descents. The ladies started 10 minutes before the men to ease congestion at the start. The Keswick men wanted a good result to help regain the English Title. With a steep long climb at the start it was no surprise that Rob Jebb was at the front but Keswick’s Brennan Townsend was right with him. Brennan is a former pro cyclist so knows how to work hard. On the last climb it was Steve Hebblethwaite who led after Brennan got a bad line off St Sunday. There were 5 in with a chance at this point But Steve and Brennan made it a 2 horse race after climbing well. Brennan just getting the better of Steve on the flat run in. Mark Lamb finished 3rd making it a Keswick 1,2,3 and helping the team to maximum points to take into the Championship. It was a great turnout for the Men with to many involved to mention. In the ladies race it was a great win for Helm Hills Kelli Roberts who led from start to finish. Keswick’s Jenn Bell had her best ever result in the Championship finishing 6th. Zoe Webber also had a great race finishing 20th. All the Keswick Ladies did really well and Lesley Malarkey received the prize for first Veteran 70. Which is a great achievement on such a tough course. It was really great to see so many Keswick vests, and to see so many great performances.
