Once again the sun shone on our monthly 10K Handicap.

Hot sunny days may not be ideal for fast times, but they usually produce a good turnout for the races and today was no exception. We had several guest runners, plus first time appearances from Sam Dennison, Catriona Cairns and Ann Keefe.

First runner home with the worst prediction of the day was Jo Obertell, running five minutes quicker than she predicted! Fastest time was by Keith Hull. Most accurate prediction of the day was by Robert Littlejohn, coming home within 10 seconds of his forecast. Well done to Chris Phillips for running a new PB on a day when times were generally a bit slower than they were in the cool spring months.

Full times were as follows:
 Keith Hull  43.08
 Chris Phillips  43.21   PB
 Sachiko Dixon  46.36
 Sam Dennison  47.06
 Giles Blackham  47.07
 Mark Wye  47.36
 Robert Littlejohn  47.50
 Karim Jaser  47.51
 Jo Obertell  48.03
 Ed Butler  48.28
 Christelle Gental   51.15
 Gordon Trout  51.45
 Gregory Brett  53.25
 Catriona Cairns  53.51
 Adam Donaldson  54.05
 Anna Holland  55.27

Finish line photographer Chris "I'm no David Bailey" Dent took a fine set of photos which can be found by clicking the image at the top, or this link: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.519223874809381.1073741826.109710435760729&type=1&l=5f559116e4

Many thanks to Bob Webb for doing a water station out at the halfway point, we know many of the runners appreciated that. Also to the start/finish team of the two Daves and Steve.
