ON what was probably one of the hottest days of the year, three Istead & Ifield Harriers members went to Deal to run in the Dinosaur 10k.

The sea breezes helped keep the trio cool and considering the conditions, all the three did well to finish in the first half of the field.

Mark and Lynne Champion repeated last year's performance by being the first husband and wife pair to finish.

Results: 11th - Mark Champion 38m46s; 73rd - Lynne Champion 44m59s and 177th - Richard Storr 51m52sec.

Meanwhile, Jackie King came third in the ladies' elite race at the Medway Mile on Sunday.
