Race Report
The weather was poor for the August race: not as hot as recently and rain showers. In other words ideal conditions for the runners but pretty poor for marshals and spectators.
We began with a period of silence to remember Jack Ellicock who died recently at the age of 94. Jack was a supporter of the L2SOTM from the outset. He was runner number 1 in the first race in October 06. At the second race he provided a stopwatch and at the third he gave the trophies. He officiated at 62 of the next 72 races until failing health forced him to retire in October 2012 and he gave prizes every year for the Christmas race.
Jack was a real sportsman. He praised our efforts and did not hesitate to tell us off if we didn't try hard enough. He was a link with history. When we had a surge of interest after the London Olympics he remarked that it was just the same in 1948!
A highlight was his 90th birthday when we had champagne instead of the usual refreshments and were joined by friends from Ranelagh Harriers of which he was a Vice President. We have lost a true gentleman and a good friend.
We welcomed new runners, William and Wayne. William was first home by miles but you can't win the trophies off an estimated handicap. Next home and Most Improved Man was Dave Henery who was closely followed by Wendy Beveridge, our Most Improved Woman. The Rising Star trophy went to Nina Smith.
Particular thanks to those who helped out, David for the signs, Maggie, Marija and Matt for marshalling; Maggie and Jim for the cakes and of course the Longparish Cricket Club for the lovely venue.
The next race is on Sunday 14th September starting at the usual time of 10am at the Cricket Ground. It is a handicap race so runners of all abilities have a chance to win!
