Winter Series 2023/24 Race 1
Wednesday 15th November.
A fantastic turnout of 82 runners on a cold, calm, damp evening for the first race in the 2023/24 Winter Series competition, with the rain starting just a few minutes after the final runners had crossed the finishing line.
First back, after only taking the lead in the last 100m, was Neil Kavanagh in a clock time of 33:24, second place went to the returning Glen Maxwell (33:35) and in third was Alan Stewart (33:46). Unusually for the first race in the series the first three being only 20 seconds apart, there then followed a gap of some 45 seconds before runners started finishing quite close together, with 58 runners finishing within 1 minute either side of the projected handicap time.
Winners in the team competition were “Keeping Up With The Kids” on a low team slow of 52pts (finishing positions being 9th, 10th, 11th and 22nd), followed by “The Stamp Collectors” and “Ali’s Aces” with 77 and 86 pts respectively.
Fastest finisher in a time of 14:33 was Harry Riches, and Gemma Floyd fastest female with 15:52. A special mention to 13 year old George Bryce, third fastest on the night in a time of 14:49.
It is worth mentioning that two runners started early, their finishing positions have been adjusted to reflect the position they would have finished in if starting at the correct time.
Many thanks to Tony, the Handicapper (Stig), the timekeepers, the recorders and all the helpers on the night.
Next race Wednesday 13th December – see you all there.
