Hello, Runners!
Another 'healthy' turnout! And another new runner: Zoe Varley, I believe she's the third of the 'Varley' clan to run in this calendar year. At F16 [see below], is she the youngest runner ever? Who knows?
Twenty starters...but only eighteen finishers. Nothing serous, just two runners who decided they didn't want to 'risk it' and turned back just after the start.
John O'Shea turned up after the last 'starter' and decided to do a tempo run. I timed him and have added him to the results but we've agreed that his handicap shouldn't be affected for next time.
Peter Torré, just back from the USA, provided banter, horse-racing tips [...don't give up the day job, Peter], chocolate, and did the presentation ceremony. Thank you, Peter.
You may have seen that Paul collected your age status and reproduced them every monthwhen you ran. Well, I bet they're out of date for most of us. How about letting me know a more accurate figure? I'm happy to go in five or ten year periods...or you can insist, as one runner has, that her true status be recorded. So, if you're a fifty-six year old male/female, you can provide M50/F50, M55/F55, or M56/F56.
I've just remembered that there was a third helper on that Wednesday, who handed out the tokens at the end. I'm ashamed to say that I can't remember who it was....was it Dan or James? Either way, I'm most grateful for the help.
The next race is on the 14th of August. I hope to see you 'on the day'.
