Jenkins stated it was an honour to win the Keith Haymes Championship and almost didn't race as he didn't train during the week as a result of a leg injury.
"I don't mind a hilly course, '' explained Terry.
"Won't run a time like that unless I was chasing Sienna."
Sienna Santuccione beat Terry by four seconds but after adjusted handicaps claimed second place six seconds behind the winner.
