Dear Harriers,
What an amazing set of results last night!
But before that, many thanks to all the volunteers who helped marshal the course last night. We couldn’t put on a safe and well administered without you.
54 runners completed the course last night, with 38 coming in under handicap – despite my best efforts to make this difficult. 12 runners came in under 40 minutes – I am not sure if this is an all time record, but this is the highest number since I have been organising the event (7 years). I was concerned that we may have got our timings wrong, but no need to doubt John’s capabilities as a sample of our times and racers watch times showed that they tallied.
But what does this mean for the overall championship. To qualify, harriers have to complete in a minimum of 3 races with their best 3 results counting.
19 harriers have so far completed 3 races with the top three being as below – including their average time:
Steve Welstead 68:11
Ana-Maria Green 68:26
Mike King 68:41
Plus we also have a number of harriers who have completed 2 races with a good average time, namely:
Gary O’Reilly 67:22
Anthony Spratt 67:52
Mike Sharp 68:04
As you can see, it is all to play for and the top slots can easily be turned around with a good performance in race 4.
Cheers and see you for race 4 on Wed 03 August.
