John Witton was fastest and set the best WMA score at the SAC mile race on 18 July, while Richard Pitcairn-Knowles, Suzy Claridge and Andrew Milne registered performances for the club bests lists. All the details are in John Denyer's report here.
Jim and Lesley organised another brilliant trail run in perfect conditions on 30th June. Starting and finishing in Weald village, there was hardly any straying off the lovely new course. Copious watery refreshments (water) were served.The next trail run is on 21st July at 09:00 at Hayesden Country Park.
Here are the results of the 2019 Knole House Relay, writes John Denyer.
It was a close contest with less than a minute covering the first 4 teams home. Congratulations to our winning team of Alex Hofmann, Jane Morgan and Paul Smith and to John Witton who ran the fastest lap of the evening. Jane Morgan achieved the most consistent 3 laps of the evening and it is interesting to see that the top two on the consistency table were in the winning team.
I hope that Tony Horlock and Duncan Cochrane are soon back running after the injuries they picked up last night. Thanks again to Jim & Lesley for their help with the timing and recording. I hope the beer went down well in the Sennockian afterwards!
