Conditions were damp, the rain was light and stopped just before the event started.
Joe who was first off, had totally misjudged his start time and only checked his start sheet late this morning. Instead of the 14:15 start he expected, he suddenly found that he was off a whole hour earlier. A panic loadup and quick drive down, Joe assisted by Chrystal and Rachel, who had come to support us, got himself to the start line with only a minute to spare! Obviously the nervous energy helped him go faster than Wednesday night as everyone else in the field seemed to be down on time. The general concensus was that the course was cutting up almost two minutes slow, mainly due to the cold and lack of wind. (there is normally a gale blowing you home)
Joe 23:46
Florence 28:03
Andy A 26:13
Ann B 28:44
Event winner Ben Instone 20:00!
Well done to all.
See you at the South Western Randonee tommorow.
Andy
