Start Fitness Harrier
League 2010/11 Race 2 – Farringdon
[30-Oct-2010] Conditions
were definitely improved for this, the second event of the Harrier League
series – no rain and a bright, clear afternoon greeted the 763 runners in all categories.
Considering the amount of rain recently, the course was in good condition with
minimal mud underfoot.
With 367 runners setting off in the senior men's race, the first
mile was slow due to congestion on the narrow tracks. An added complication was
the decision by the organisers to add a short loop after the third lap to
extend the race distance – this caused some confusion at the finishing funnel
but hopefully they will sort it out for next year. First back for Blyth was
Andrew Henderson in 47th place.
