I was waiting for the runners to arrive at the Northern 10 miles this morning. I was chatting to Martyn Strickett of Northern AC and he asked me if I thought that the first three were likely to change throughout the race.
I told him that I was quite sure it wouldn't. I knew that Kevin Loundes, who was a long way ahead was in good form and thought it unlikely that he would be beaten. But Christian Varley's youth should keep him clear of Ben Scott and I was even more certain that Ben wouldn't be caught.
A few seconds later Christian arrived in the lead! I spoke to Kevin at the NSC this afternoon and he had a stomach upset last night and felt too weak to continue.
