Sri Chinmoy 24 hr Race
Jen Coleman (Les Croupiers) finished first lady and second overall out of a stellar field of 45 ultra specialists in a new PB of 227.715 kms (141.495 miles). This was not only a new PB by 10 km (eclipsing her previous best set 8 years ago when winning in Barcelona), but also constituted a new UK F45 24 hour record and a new Welsh ladies 24 hour track record. Jen already has a long distinguished record in ultras, having won team gold (with Emily Gelder) for Wales in the Anglo Celtic Plate 100 kms in 2011 and 2012, as well as winning the UK 100 km title in 2014. Having married that year, she has since had three children, so this was an amazing return to competition.
