Distance: 7km | Ascent: 250m | Duration: 15 days | Race: 57 | Total runners: 68
Another good turnout for the fastest course in the series. Clearly it was what our 3 captains thought we all needed when they came up with this one.
Plenty of first timers and the usual handicap regulars in attendance. 39 runners beat their predicted time, the Handicapper must have been feeling kind. The Blackford hill start was not kind.
Norman: “Tough start! Fortunately, it gets easier :-)”
Aron: “Nice route, after horrible start”
Andy Mac: “Great descents! Uncanny time predicting by Handicapper”.
Ken: “Apart from the first 5 minutes I really enjoyed it. Predicted time would probably be about spot on if I hadn’t messed up my route choice a couple of times.”. Ken may have been using Sandra’s compass.
Thanks for the finish line support from Andrew S, Neil G, Alan R and James B. Neil Gordon arranged our post-race food at The Waiting Room, thank you.
