August Results

Heartfelt thanks to Dawn and Steve for officiating. It enabled me to run for the first time since June last year when there were similar conditions of pleasant temperature, no wind, and dry ground. Obviously good racing conditions, and both male and female records fell with Shaun knocking over 20 seconds off his best time last year, and Rhian stormed back from a career-threatening injury to take 53 seconds off her personal best and break Emma’s 21m21.  Emma did that several years ago when she had to go the long way round the bushes (i.e. not over the stream) and that was probably worth 20m50 using the current ‘short cut’ (which you will remember was necessitated by the silly fence the school put up). So I think Rhian’s 20m31 is a small but definite improvement. Note that this evening Emma put in a sub 22 effort as well – and only Rhian and Ceri B are in that club with her. Another notable effort was by Ron in his last race before M80-hood, and 4 minutes quicker than his last run here.
