Well it finally stopped raining for this year's event. The ground was still heavy though and no doubt resulted in slower times than usual.
Dave Benson gave a good account of himself to win his first handicap and just kept 'secret trainer' Alan Greenwood at bay. Andy Peace suffered a severe handicap due to too many 'top runners' getting through to the front in recent handicaps. Some consolation however was that he and Ruth both produced fastest men and women's times of the day.
On the subject of handicapping, I am informed that the last four runners home all made route finding errors which added time on their scores, which, if true could have meant that all twenty eight runners would have returned within 8 watch minutes. Finally, it was very nice to see a handful of new members taking part.
