Race Report

First a plea. David Gould is planning to move from Longparish so he is retiring after more than 10 years of doing the race signs. Thanks David and also Fiona for all you have done to make the race a success. We need the signs to be able to race safely so we need a volunteer to replace David. It takes about half an hour to put them out and a bit less to collect them afterwards. There is an illustrated page of instructions at the helpers' page. Ideally we need someone to do the job regularly but we could manage with a rota. If you can help please contact David or Jeremy.

Most Improved Runners and Lulu's trainer, Arthur

We had 21 runners for the March race on a dull morning. First home and leader from start to finish was Wendy Beveridge who won the cup for Most Improved Woman for the 15th time. Wendy is a steady runner and does the 5km (3.1 miles) course in around 36 minutes so her success shows that you don't have to be super fast to be a winner. That's the joy of a handicap race.

David Gould, making a comeback after a long period of injury, was our Most Improved Man. Our Rising Star was Lulu Hibbert. Credit also goes to her brother, Arthur, who sacrificed his chance of winning and paced his sister to her success. Well done both.

Amanda Whatley and Paul Fielding both recorded their best ever times. Paul beat the elusive 24 minute barrier by one second after running to the start from Whitchurch Station. He then set off to run to Basingstoke. Impressive or what?

Thanks very much to Maggie Barber and Abigail Bryan for marshalling, to Victoria Blewitt, the Knipes and Jim Dundas for delicious cakes, to David and Fiona Gould for doing the signs and crunching the numbers and to the Cricket Club for the lovely venue.

Our next race is on Sunday 8th April starting at the usual time of 10am at the Cricket Ground. Everyone is welcome especially volunteers to help (full training provided). If you'd like to run it is a handicap race so people of all abilities have a chance to win.

Models Jeremy and David courtesy of the Longparish Colourblind Association

Finally, you may have noticed that David and Jeremy are setting a trend with some bright leggings. Why should men always have to wear dull colours? If you agree it is time for a change then Lotus Leggings offer a wonderful range. Sadly they don't make you look like their models but they do brighten things up a bit.
