GIAAC Jones and Partners Winter League Race 3
5Km Road race L'Eree-Vazon
2nd February 2003

After an intriguing race with Pete De Bertrand and Gordon Mercier Dave Dyke came out on top to win the third race in the Jones and Partners/GIAAC Winter League, a 5K road event held between Leree and Vazon.

Gordon Mercier got the race off to a fast start but, after pegging the leader back just before the 2km mark, Dyke looked to be edging clear as the race passed the halfway point at Perelle. After passing Richmond Mercier and De Bertrand were running side by side just behind Dyke, who looked very relaxed, but mysteriously pulled over as he met the coast at Vazon.

Under the sporting encouragement of his competitors Dyke rejoined the race and the trio ran much of the closing stages together until Dyke pulled clear in the last 500M to cross the line in 17 minutes 43 seconds.

Val Sexton ran a superb race to finish top woman. After a long period out of the sport with serious illness Sexton is gradually returning to her best form and the multiple Island Games medallist was clearly overjoyed with her run.
