We have the following report from Mitch:
The first EMGP race of the 2016 Series took place at Silverstone on a glorious sunny evening, in stark contrast to last year where most of the runners had ‘wets’ on to negotiate the circuit. 10 Sphinx made the trip with debuts at the ‘Home of Racing’ for Lisa, Alex and Paul. Pride of place goes to Kev, who came 5th out of 40 in his age category in an outstanding 42:27 and also to Lisa, who goes from strength to strength, finishing 15th in the Female Seniors Category, out of 118 runners, in an excellent 46:59. Great to see Alex on his way back to full fitness too; fortunately the course last night was traffic free, which was a big help (sorry mate J, couldn’t resist that one).
PS – Also, just spotted, Allen also finished 15th in his category, out of 124, in a very creditable 40:09. Would have noticed it earlier but Allen still can’t spell ‘Spinx’ correctly!
