48 runners braved a wet and windy night. The conditions proved difficult
with only 4 runners getting below their expected time. However, a
spectacular return to form saw Barbara win by over a minute from Nick
who is also benefiting from increased mileage. A creditable third place
for Nell with Sarah close behind. All 4 ran their best times for the
series. Also pleasing was Emilia's return after a bad injury in the
first handicap race. 3 more runners turning out for the first time this
series took the total who have run at least once to 93 which is a
record. We still cannot beat the record for an individual race turnout
of 62 but I am sure that everyone will make an effort for the last race.
41 runners (names in italics on the cumulative WMA table) have run
enough races to be eligible to be the overall champion. The last race
will be off grouped starts so the final winner will not be announced
until the presentation evening in March. Steve Frith has the WMA prize
in the bag and only a failure to turn up or a really bad run will
prevent this but 2nd and 3rd will be a close run race as Steve Storey is
back from holiday.
Let's have everyone out on the 12th for a grand
finale.
