As usual, if I have missed you out – yell.

Bright and cheerful this evening in sunshine and 17C without wind, unlike at the weekend when so  many of the people running and spectating here were engaged in really serious competition in wind and rain. But another day, another race. The series is starting to unfold and Tony W is bent on securing that Fastest Man trophy with another record run! Glad to see more new members taking part, and some older ones like Colin and Ruth coming back. Many thanks to Duncan for officiating along with Wendy, Jon, and Martin. Good to see the clock in action and thanks to club chairman, Roger, for sorting it out – and then winning the race.

The points competition will become clearer after this one. Some adjustments to the start list reflect remarkable improvements being made by new members, and interesting progress by some old ones too! The tactical decisions about how much effort to put in to get to the gates in front of a group might loom large – and cost a bit on the final sprint if you get it wrong…..

If I have inadvertently missed anybody out, please let me know.  NB. ‘Improvers’ very welcome.

No obvious front runner for the championship – which is as it should be. Adjustments to last month mean it should be tighter over the line. Keep the 2nd Tuesday in May free for this one. Actually that is May 9th. Signatures for the Castles Relay will also be requested now that we have the form. This includes reserves, please.

Those expecting a nice warm evening like us officials were disappointed. Very cold in the north westerly wind despite the bright sunshine. It has been dry most of the last week but some managed to find heavy mud due to ploughing, and Elen liked it so much she kicked her shoes off just to get more of it between her toes. Congratulations to Diane who improved from last in March to first tonight!Welcome to Sally who set off on her own bravely with no idea where she was going and got close to the time of several very decent runners. Also commiserations to Mike Hb who suffered a pulled muscle in the cold. Brilliant return by Shaun J, and excellent run by Helen (after Sunday’s quick 10K too) but a clear new Men’s record by Tony W – I am continuing the records of the course we used from 2012 -2015 despite the short cut over the stream which I’m regarding as worth 30 seconds or so. John Morris held the previous record of 19m23 in April 2014. Vic did 19m48 in 2013. Emma holds the women’s record with 21m24 in June 2013. Rhian did 21m25 in August 2013. In that context, Katy’s 22m43 today represents her entry into the reckoning as a proper cross country runner!
