Winter Series 2025/26 Race 3

Wednesday 14th January.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, the STIG has been busy and I have ticked off the majority of today’s to do list so can now share the results for Race 3 of the 2025/2026 winter series.

Firstly though, massive thanks to all the organisers and volunteers without who we would not have these club nights. While the weather was significantly better than race 2, it is still a cold evening this time of year to be standing around shouting encouragement to copious numbers of your club mates as they race around the course having been ‘locked’ out of their favourite pastime by snow and ice over recent weeks 😉😀👍

So to the results, on the evening individual glory went to Anita Dabbs who was a ‘comfortable’ 😉 12 seconds ahead of Martin Fairbairn in second with Diane Hankins closing out the podium positions. In all seriousness, while maybe ‘comfortable’ is not the best adjective to use, it was a tremendous performance from Anita Dabbs to secure victory and I believe the first 20 people across the line recorded their fastest races of this series in the process, well done all.👏👏💪

The individual overall table has undergone a bit of a transformation after this race too with Anita Dabbs sitting at the top from Maisie Payne and Rob Dooley in 3rd but there is still loads of twists and turns left in this competition and remember, only 4 races count towards this.

Now for the team competition, victors on the night were Run like the Winded with all their counting runners inside the top 42 places. They needed to also rely on a non-runner to secure the top place however as if Jenna Crooks had not volunteered, they would have been overhauled by The Runbetweeners and Aye up me Duck who ended up second and third on the evening, well done to all teams and it does go to show how that volunteer position can help the team. 😉👍

So what does that do to the team competition, well, Run like the Winded have made a break for freedom at the top of the table with an 18 point lead over the chasing pack (with only 2 points covering the next 3 teams). With 2 races left, and 64 points still up for grabs, it is far from over and maybe Run like the Winded have made their charge for the finish line a little early, maybe, maybe not, it is good however that they have chosen to wear brightly coloured t-shirts on their team with their names on the backs so that we can all see them and hunt them down ( I mean fairly compete for finishing positions) in coming races 😉

So there we have it ladies and gents, the results, now for the important stuff, the STIG related data:-

67 of the 91 finishers (74%) were within +/- 1 min of target time (38 mins)

45 of the 91 finishers (49%) were within +/- 30s of the target time

busiest 15second finish period was 38:13-38:27 with 18 finishers.

131 of our 163 registered competitors (80%) have ran at least 1 race so far this series.

average finish time (38:26) across all finishers is the fastest average we have seen in the 3 races to date within this series

That’s it then all, congrats to the victors, well done to all that competed and we move on to race 4, same time, same place on 11th February.

Train hard, stay fit and see you all there.

Cheers

Dave (and the STIG)

Next race Wednesday 11th February  – see you all there.
