Trinidad and Tobago-based Guyanese distance running duo, Kelvin Johnson and Lionel D’Andrade continued to excel in the Twin Island Republic last weekend when they finished first and second respectively in the Palo Seco Credit Union 6km Road Race on Saturday.
Johnson stopped the clock at 19:12 while his teammate Lionel D’Andrade followed closely in 19:24 in the race to place second. Trinidadian, Colin Pereira (19:39) finished third.
“I felt good this morning. I was focusing on speed training more than putting in the mileage and my time today is an improvement from last year, where I clocked 20:21 in this same event. Also last weekend I also placed fifth in the Air Bon Sonics 5k,” D’Andrade said yesterday.
“That’s a definite improvement.
I am tapering down now in preparation for the 12th Edition of the UWI Spec Half Marathon scheduled for next Sunday (October 25),” he added.
The Palo Seco race had 109 participants last Saturday.
