Congratulations to our cross-country stalwarts on their excellent runs today.

Leg 1)    Karl Thwaites                    12.00m/12.19m = 24 mins 19 secs

Leg 2)    Andrew Edwards             12.02m/11.53m = 23 mins 55 secs

Leg 4)    Bruce Venables                13.31m/13.36m = 27 mins 07 secs

Unofficial results:   5th Team in Division 6 out of 12 teams. Fantastic effort guys!!

Many thanks to Bruce who was a last minute volunteer to complete the team. Great effort in his first ever race in this type of competition. I’m sure we can now persuade him to join the team full time

For your interest, your lady colleagues did us proud..

Not only did they forgo their usual over 40’s age division (at 55+ they still give them at least 15 yrs!), but because our younger masters were not available they willingly took their place in the Open Division 3. Full credit to Lavinia Petrie, Helen Stanley, and Janet Holmes with their unofficial result of 9th place.

Leg 1)    Lavinia Petrie

                13m36s/13m36s = 27 mins 12 secs

Leg 2)    Helen Stanley

                 13m28s/13m47s = 27 mins 15 secs

Leg 3)    Janet Holmes

                 15m06s/15m13s = 30 mins 19 secs

A great start to the season.

Why not join us for a cross-country run or two? We are looking to start teams in the open and all age-groups. Reserves are essential to cope with occasional injuries and time out for other commitments. Please contact David Sheehan.

Our next race is at Balnarring Racecourse:   Sat 21st May – 8 km Cross Country.
