Bowler continues to win age groups in UK!
Houston's Karen Bowler (and a very good friend of mine) continues to win her age group this year -- even in the UK!
An original founding member of the Hailsham Harriers in the UK (1984), she and her husband, Tim, are frequent visitors to the Run The Woodlands 5K Series.
I knew from talking to Karen at a race in June that she was going to be in the UK this summer and when I saw Tim last Saturday at the Run For Life 5K in Pasadena, I asked him if Karen had been doing any racing.
Tim pointed me to the site of the Bexhill Runners as they put on a monthly event (the Seafront 6), much like Run The Woodlands.
On Wednesday night, June 28th, Karen, 56, won her "Senior Veterans 4" age group with a time of 22:13 to finish 13th among 86 female finishers. She defeated her nearest competition, Tessa Schooling, by a minute and 27 seconds.
Four weeks later, on July 26th, Karen sliced six seconds from her time to end the event in 22:06. She still "schooled" Tessa Schooling by a minute and 36 seconds this time, but ended up 26th among 98 female finishers.
The last Wednesday in June must be ladies night at the pub!
