Sarah Stimpson a.k.a THE TERMINATOR!
INCREDIBLE STIMPSON DOES THE DOUBLE!
On Saturday, Sarah Stimpson, a member of Hitchin based triathlon club FVS TRI, was selected to run for Herts County at Southern Inter County Cross Country Championships. on the classic Parliament Hill 6k course. And she didn’t disappoint; recording a time of 22:32 to finish 7th overall and 1st senior for Herts.
With such an excellent result she has been invited to represent Herts at the National Inter County Championships at Birmingham in March 2010.
The following day Stimpson was again in stunning form; this time at round two of the cross country championship. The event, hosted by FVS TRI and held at a wet and windy Rowney Warren Wood, saw Stimpson win the women’s race by well over a minute and finish an amazing 11th overall, as well as first across the line for the club.
Jane Chappell, Kate Turner and Gemma Sargent demonstrated the strength of the club’s female athletes by all finishing inside the top ten women overall.
In the men’s event, Ironman Legend Gavin May finished first for the club’s male athletes in a great time of 31:10 for an overall position of 16th. Dil Witherill and Andy Chatterton finished 2nd and 3rd for the club respectively and joined May in ensuring that the M40 age-category proved age is no barrier to success.
In the Men’s competition, the club finished 1st in both the A and B Team standings and 2nd in the Masters event; which also reflects their position in the overall championship after two rounds.
In the Women’s competition, the club finished 1st in the A Team and Masters events and now lie in 1st place overall in the A Team competition and 5th in the Masters.
