August 10K Handicap Race results

August Bank Holiday weekend gave us a smaller field than recently, with 15 runners taking on the club 10K Handicap.

There were three members running it for the first time ever, so well done to our debutants Dave Goldsmith, Andrew Scowcroft and Ali McGeogh-Williams, who all made it round without getting lost :)

Pride of place this month goes to Ali, who ran a 10K PB of 35.57, which was also the fastest time in this race since January 2006 - which was 34.48 by Nathan Aspinall, I know someone's bound to ask.

First across the line (and worst prediction of the day) was Andy Stevens, and the best prediction of the day was from Sachiko Dixon, 4 seconds faster than her forecast of 45 minutes.

Tony Hatch registered his fastest time of 2013 so far, while Lyn Taylor struggled with a sore back to her slowest, but well done to Lyn for making it round! The physio awaits.....

Welcome back to Dave Pearce after a long period of injury, returning with a fine 57.12 after many months stuck helping with the timing.

I'll add photos once we get them from Mark.

WV runners spotted in Skiathos

Dee and Nathan have just spent a week on the beautiful Greek island of Skiathos and discovered some interesting and challenging hilly runs.
Coincidentally the Dennison's were on the island too for their vacation so it was too good an opportunity to meet up for 'happy hour' cocktails and some lovely Greek food and wine.
