We had 22 runners for this the third race of winter. Amongst these were 4 new faces to the event, Charlotte Rounding, Jenny Waite, Simon Hands and Jack Hipkiss. We also did it the reverse way round, so the regular Wednesday nighters had a taste/test? of the different option. They were also the odd few claiming special dispensation due to injuries etc but all in all the finish times were quite good. Only 4 got pb’s so was this due to the reverse route – or the Christmas Meal the night before? First over the line was Simon Hands with a run time of 21.17, so his time will come down next month. 10 seconds behind was Jemma Roe, coming back from “maternity leave” with a run time of 26.27. Third over the line was Adam Moger, 6 seconds behind Jemma – but only because we shouted the panto slogan to Jemma “he’s behind you” Adams time was 20.33, so I think Adam has had enough sympathy now – and back to reality start times for him. Just missing out by 6 seconds in 4th place was James Nundy recording his first ever time at this event of 22.37. Sadly the last over the line on the night was Sean Scanlon with a run time of 24.48, – over 2 minutes slower than Octobers time, so maybe he had a double helping of Christmas pud. Fastest man on the night was Jack “Jackie” Hipkiss with a run time of 18.21, but we may have been a bit harsh with his estimated time. Fastest lady on the night was Isobel Webster with a run time of 22.21. Pb’s went to Dave Wood Jaquie Elmer, Simone Salgado and Lee Hardy.
Many thanks to Vikki Hipkiss and Sam Broome for doing a marvellous job with starting everyone off on time and recording the correct times and names at the finish.
Don’t forget we give trophies to the best overall 3 runners out of 4 runs at the end of the series, so with 3 runs still to go there is still plenty of opportunity for all.

Cheers
