It stayed dry! Cold, though (12C), and a bit soggy, so as expected it wasn’t possible to threaten the records. Welcome to new member Mel, and potential new member, Ian. The series competition was wrapped up by Katy last month with an unassailable 20 points from her best 5 races. Tony W injured himself finishing the September race on a dodgy ankle but hopefully his Silver award for 40 points will compensate a bit. It was very close for Bronze because Gerwyn’s 47 points were there to be shot at by Tony B, Craig, Glen, and Rob G. On the day only Glen and Rob turned up – despite the fact that Rob has the Chester Marathon to run this weekend. Rob ran a very creditable time in the conditions but just missed out by 3 places which would have been achieved if he had been 12 seconds faster here (just in front of Shaun H)! Glen needed to be 16 seconds faster to finish 4th in this race, so with 7th he was very, very close – but Gerwyn takes Bronze after all. Shaun remains fastest man with 17m57 in July (September course was short) and the trophy for fastest woman goes to Ceri B for 21m23 in May.
