Thanks for another great turnout and well done to the majority of you that remembered to bring your running shoes. A few people turned at a marker post rather than passing it, but most seemed to have no bother apart from one slippery ditch.
When I sorted the course a few weeks ago the whole course was waterlogged and the ditch was full with fast flowing water. Luckily a few dry days before race day firmed things up and there were some very good times. Antony won by over 5 minutes from Thomas with Megan and Rachel finishing in an impressive third spot.
It was yet another one of our events where the ladies outnumbered the men. Long may it continue.
The Rose and Crown again did us proud with the food and service and we’ll be back on Easter Monday for the Eggstravaganza
DARK HORSE
The weather gods were kind and the course not too muddy for our first night run from one of our favourite haunts.
The only point of contention seems to have been the disappointment about the size of the tank, with most people expecting something bigger and some even a Sherman. The pub as usual did us proud with the food, good beer and most importantly putting the heating on at 9am so we weren’t two brass monkeys when you got back.
Some very fast times from the winning men, Antony, Paul and Luke who will have to get, or perhaps draw straws, to share their prize. And well done to Rachel ably assisted by Dad to win the ladies event.
Our next event another night trail, the Dark Rose, is already sold out and we have updated our fixtures page with most of our events for the coming year.
