May 28, 2021
Who’d have thought when charging around the lanes of Church Lawford in September 2019, that our next handicap event wouldn’t be for another 20 months?! On 27th May, Sphinx AC gathered in Brinklow to race the first handicap of the 2021 series. 46 runners attended, some for the first time, and some achieving course personal bests.
Many thanks to our handicap organisers for a smoothly run event, as well as those who gave up their time to volunteer and marshal on the night.
Sally-Anne was our winner, smashing her predicted time by 3.5 minutes. In second and third place were Caroline O’Brien and Lucian Morogan, respectively, both beating their predicted times by just over 3 minutes. A storming performance from David Brewis means we have a new course record of 30:27 for the 5.5 miles, a significant 21 second improvement on the previous record!
