Clevedon AC’s Francesca Rawlings returned to competitive action at the Severn Bridge 10k last weekend.
After several months without racing, Rawlings was keen to be part of an event once more – although the format was different to normal.
With a mass start not an option, runners were given start times determined by club name in alphabetical order.
Individuals started off at 10-second intervals, which ensured a favourable start for Rawlings, with conditions good across the bridge.
Rawlings produced a great run to finish as first in the V40 category and fifth female overall in an excellent time of 39 minutes 44 seconds.
