This was a notable result for Duck, who in the last four weeks had competed in a international triathlon for Great Britain Veterans, then led the club’s cross country team in a league race.

The winning women’s team was led by Rhona Haslam, who ran a personal best time to finish fourth woman, but was officially placed third due to late entry rules.

Haslam was followed home by Hannah Mainprize, who also ran a personal best to finish eighth woman.
