Race Report
We welcomed new runners Hamish Martin, Rachel Forrest, Jan Lacey and Barney Cooper to the March race. The sun shone, the conditions were good apart from a bit of mud underfoot and no fewer than 20 runners managed to break their handicaps.
Rachel and Hamish were first and second but you can't win the trophies off an estimated handicap so the honours went to Emma Baker and Oliver Baker in 3rd and 4th place in personal best times. It is often the case that runners are most improved at their second race and so it was with Emma and Oliver even though, in Emma's case, it was more that 15 years since her first event. She also gets the honour of the longest gap between races!
There were personal records also for Susanna Benedetto, Jo Brunwin, Tom Rogers, Jack Dundas and Megan Brunwin who was our Rising Star. Special mention goes the Emma's sister, Katy Evans who finished in 7th place with a personal best time that broke the women's course record by nearly a minute. Well done!
