ATHLETICS: BROMSGROVE & Redditch AC racewalker Sharon Tonks took part on Saturday in the RWA 1st Winter League race at Worcester on Saturday.
After a summer of "active rest" Tonks refused to ease up on her very heavy training schedule and completed a hard two-hour road session the day before the race.
Tonks also refused to rise to the bait of her arch-rival Katherine Horwell of Dudley and Stourbridge AC, knowing her to be superbly fit.
Instead, Tonks chose to walk her own strong even-paced 5km race, the result a predictable, but well-deserved win for Horwell while Tonks took second place.
