Ben Procter nabs first LRDC Record Setting Performance of 2011!

Pain @ 2011 Can-Am Meet (Windsor, ON)

It came to me by way of facebook and the results page at the Mike Lints Alumni Open confirms it...Ben Procter has set a new London Runner Distance Club Senior Men's all time record in the 800m...and it was done indoors to boot!

1:54.55 was Ben's time, good enough for second place overall and the Senior Men's 800m record!

He now holds both the Junior and the Senior 800m Men's records for the club, I think it's high time someone swoops in and pulls a fast one on him before this 'fame' goes to his head.

Massive props have to go out to Ben for a record setting performance so early in the year.  I'm already looking forward to his outdoor season, who knows, maybe he'll be fighting off David Rudisha by then! And maybe, just maybe, he can pull me along in a race or two....though I doubt I could hang on!
