Allan
Bogle was the runaway winner of the Muff Festival 5K, the fifth race in the
Bob Mullan Motors 5K Series.
Bogle who won four races
in the Series in 2005 had to wait until the penultimate race of this year’s
fixtures to finally climb up to the winner’s place on the podium.
Bogle who took charge
almost from the gun ended up over a minute clear of the rest of the field
with a 16 minutes 12 seconds clocking – well outside his own course record
set last year of 15:36.
The City of Derry athlete
who put down the slow time to a strong headwind along the Muff-Moville road
was nevertheless pleased with his victory.
Overall Series leader
Dermot Connolly had his best ever result to take second place in 17:14
despite being chased down by a group of six for most of the race.
Allan Bogle
In the end just ten
seconds covered places 4th – 8th with John Harkin from
Ferbane in County Offaly just getting up to take third on the run-in with a
respectable 17:43 timing.
Further back Kevin Toner
looked to have sealed victory in the age-graded overall competition after
finishing 13th in 18:16.
The women’s field in some
of the past races may have been lacking a little in quality but that changed
with two of the top female distance runners lining up.
In the end Anne Paul
prevailed over Eimear Mullan in a fast 17:53 which was good enough to put her
in 8th place overall.
Paul came to the race
looking to improve her speed after a lay-off through injury but looked sharp
throughout the 3.1 mile distance.
Mullan who concentrates on
the Modern Pentathlon also impressed with an 18:31 clocking for 15th
place of the 52 finishers.
Foyle Valley’s Bernie Ryan
came through to take third some way back in
21:18.
The final race in the
Series is scheduled for August 23 at Templemore with an earlier starting time
of 7:30pm.
