Race has got their name on it - Wicks

2014-07-baWednesday 9 July, Battersea Park.

From the JP Morgan Chase Challenge website:

"Stop us if you have heard this story before, but the husband and wife team of Phil and Emily Wicks were the individual winners.

Phil, representing his new employer, Allianz, won the men's division in 16:42, fighting off a valiant effort from Nicholas Torry of Commerzbank (16:47).

Emily, wearing the colors of Punter Southall, was a comfortable women's winner in 19:39, outdistancing Miriam Vernizzi of GE Capital, who ran a solid 20:22.

This is the fourth consecutive year that the Wicks Dynasty has swept the men's and women's crowns on the same night of racing. It was Phil's seventh London Corporate Challenge title overall, the sixth for Emily."

Thursday 10 July, City of London. ... and the next night the Dynamic Duo did it again - a double win in the Standard Chartered Great City Run 5k. Phil running 14:29 for a 49 second victory and Emily 16:38, 40 seconds clear of the rest.
