Alex Parlane led a lonely path around the Huntly half marathon course, winning as he liked in 1h 12m 38s. The former national cross country champion clocked a personal best in the windy conditions finishing a minute ahead of his Wesley Club team mate Tom Moyes. Tom Hunt was third in 1h 15m 38s.<\/p>\n

Although on his own for most of the journey Parlane still found it tough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had some company for the first 3km and then just got into my work, those hills were tough in the second half and it was a windy day especially the last 8km just into a head wind. I\u2019m still in a build-up so I\u2019m pretty happy to win and it is a PB for me, my last PB was here two years ago (1:13:43 [3] ),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The 25 year old is heading to Europe in July where he hopes to reduce his 5000m track time.<\/p>\n

The first three runners went the correct 21.1km course but from fourth to eightieth veered off course around the 7km mark and in most cases ran an extra 2km.<\/p>\n

Lisa Robertson was one of these, but still came through to win the women\u2019s section by five minutes over Esther Keown with a further two minutes to Fiona Love.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was supposed to do an hour thirty five run today so I nearly did it. Oh well that\u2019s the way it goes, you\u2019ve just got to keep going,\u201d said Robertson.<\/p>\n

Robertson would have run well under 1h 20m. Robertson who marries in July in Rarotonga is aiming for the full marathon distance in Auckland in November.<\/p>\n

Donna Roderick won the half marathon walk in 2:08:49. The 10km went to Sasha Daniels 35:35, from John Bowe 35:49, Emerson Deverell was the first woman in 39:22. Marcia Soanes won the 10km walk in 1:08:49. The 5km was won by Charlie Miller in 17:22, with Hannah Haworth the first woman in 19:29. Just on a thousand took part in the half marathon with 1951 competing over all events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
