Thanks to Jackie Stuart for the following report:
Another glorious night for race 3 at Monks Kirby. This is the shortest of the runs at 4.9 miles and also, quite possibly, the fastest route. This was proved by the fact that, of the 58 runners, 44 ran quicker than the handicapper’s time.
Other stats:
5 guests
1 junior
52 seniors
11 within 40 seconds of handicapper’s time
14 within 40 seconds of own estimated time
14 over handicapper’s time
44 under handicapper’s time
On the night Mark Moran was first over the line in a time of 35:45 followed by first timer Vicky Brewin. Fastest man was Rob Wheatley in 29:49 and fastest lady was Laura Duggins in 37:23. Closest to estimated time was Paul Gocher – 1 second (I also was only 1 second out. At least I managed to get one of the times correct, thank goodness!)
Thanks to Chris and Wayne for setting up the course, and to all the marshals and helpers on the finish line. The next race is at Birdingbury on the 29th June. I hope you are all looking forward to that hill!
