Runner Jo Pavey wins SPAR European Cross Country
Runner Jo Pavey was happy but also feeling tired after winning Saturday's SPAR European Cross Country trial in Liverpool.
Jo Pavey finished 100m ahead of her closest opponent at the end of the 6.5km race and won in a time of 23 minutes 28 seconds.
"I was really struggling in the deep mud - it was almost hopeless trying to get a rhythm," said Commonwealth 5,000m silver medallist Jo Pavey.
Felicity Milton and Kate Reed were in second and third place and student cross-country runner Frank Tickner won the men's trial.
Frank Tickner covered the 10km distance in 31min 18 sec to finish four seconds ahead of Mike Skinner with America-based Gavin Thompson third in 31:29.
Pre-race favourites Steve Vernon and former European Under 23 5,000m champion Chris Thompson were in fourth and fifth positions in 31min 36sec and 31min 47sec respectively.
