First and Third Female for Vale of York Duo

Nicola Henderson picked up the prize for first woman in the F40 age category at the Bramham 10K today, while VOYAC team mate Emma Winter took third place.

Both women were delighted with their results.

Nicola said afterwards, “It was a tough course with a brutal climb at the end. I just had to hang on for the last mile. I couldn’t do much more.”

Emma marvelled at her medal from her first ever 10K race. “This first one is so special,” she said. “But now I want more!”

The women were joined at the event by Lee Lockwood, who was using the race as training for his sub 4 hour marathon attempt at York Marathon in four weeks’ time.

Lee was as sanguine as ever. “It’s another training run in the bank,” he said. “Bring on the marathon now.”
