Three Exmouth Harriers were racing on the road in Cornwall over the weekend.
Andrew Johnson took part in the Duchy Marathon, which is run over two laps around Redruth, the north Cornish coast, Pool and Camborne. Aided by virtually wind-free conditions, Johnson went through 20 miles in 2 hours and 27 minutes, but he faded badly over the final 10 kilometres to finish in 3:19:27, losing four places to finish in 21st place.
Roger Rowe and Caroline Prescott took part in the Duchy 20, which takes in one-and-a-half laps of the marathon route. Rowe, who turns 60 in a fortnight, finished 8th in 2:10:58. Roger who was 5th Vet/55 in the 2003 London marathon, used the Duchy 20 as a stepping stone to a hopefully higher-placing as a SuperVet/60 in the 2005 London Marathon to be held on the 17th April.
Prescott was the 4th woman to finish, recording a time of 2:38:18.
