Last weekend saw the final Sweatshop 10 Miler which was attended by 6 Preston Harriers who battled against coastal winds and Arctic temperatures. Rob Affleck put his high mileage marathon training to good use with a metronomic pace throughout the race and a final blast in the closing stages to leave his rivals behind in a time of 56.21 for outright victory. As a fireman Chris Wales had a double stake in the race, taking victory within the Fire Service ranks with 63.23, 10th overall and 2nd MV45. Neil Mc Donald was the next proud harrier to storm the line and was rewarded with 1st MV50 in 66.16 with Dougie Potter pushing him all the way for 4th harrier team member in 69.12, to seal the team prize. Claiming victory over the adverse conditions were Andy Lee in 79.21 and Daniel Higgins (84.11).
