Race Report

Sheila, Freddie and Dennis

The weather was good for the July race and all the cricket teams were playing away so we had the ground to ourselves. We welcomed junior new runner Thomas Ingham. We also welcomed back Joanne Wyatt after an absence of some month in recognition of which she set off early using an estimated handicap.

Our experience is that estimated handicaps tend to underestimate the ability of the runner and, true-to-form, Joanne finished first with Thomas close behind.

The first finisher off a true handicap was Dennis Doney who became our Most Improved Man. In 12th place was our Rising Star, Freddie Brown. Proving the old adage that, "You've got to be in it to win it" was Sheila Evans, our only woman finisher who was therefore awarded the gold cup.

Special mention goes to Kevin Hickey for a personal record, a tantalising 15 seconds away from bagging a time under 20 minutes. Well done Kevin and good luck for next time.

Thanks very much to Kevin for being starter, to Maggie Barber, Emma Smith and Sandra Doney for marshalling, to Maggie for the lovely flapjack, to the adults who accompanied juniors, to Team Smith for doing the signs, to David Gould for crunching the numbers and to the Cricket Club for the lovely venue.

Our next race is on Sunday 11th August, starting at the usual time of 10am at the Cricket Ground.

Everyone is welcome especially volunteers to help (full training provided). It is a handicap race so people of all abilities have a chance to win.
