After quite heavy & persistent rain, ABDI ABDULLEH, followed up his win in the Middlesex 10k road Championship, of the 29th of September, with another decisive victory in the first Start Fitness Met League of the season.
Coach Idris Hamud, of Hillingdon AC, pointed out “My target this season was for one of my men to win a Metropolitan league senior race but, I was surprised it was done so soon.” In the past, Abdi did often, rush off quickly, which robbed him of a victory in 2017-18 but this time he went off fast but never came back. At halfway, on the sometimes muddy patches, he was on his own ahead of the chasing pack.
