2020 Johnson’s Monument Handicap Results

A 5 day rolling ‘virtual’ event in view of the sudden Tier 4 restrictions. Final list will be from the times provided on individual garmin/strava watches and posted on the club facebook site before dusk on Wednesday 23rd December.

Dreadful ground conditions due to sodden fields, churned-up gateways and slippy stones and stiles. Still raining most days. Nevertheless some people actually did it twice to improve their times! Hardest year (apart from when it snowed in 2017) since late 1990s, marginally offset by the new 600 metres of tarmac at the end. Tony W and Katy improved their previous bests and are rewarded with the individual prizes – the Shield to Tony and the Battered Cup (first of the opposite gender) to Katy. Mel also knocked 45 seconds or so off her best on her second attempt. Welcome to newbies Lee, Rachael, and Abigail. On the M60 list Peter L makes his sub 60 appearance and Vic enters in 2nd place with his fantastic 47m13. Hopefully we will have a Dinner sometime to present prizes (probably next August).
