So many ERR achievements that it's difficult to mention them all, so the individual trophies/PBs are in the table below. In addition, the ERR men (Mark B, Dan, Robert and Ben) won the overall men's team and County Championship competitions, while the ERR ladies (Hannah, Katherine and Kate) were 2nd in the overall team competition but were County Champions. Well done to all our prize winners and PB setters, and a special mention to Robert and Katherine for setting new club age category records for 10 miles.

A smallish but high quality field at the first running of this event, so some excellent ERR performances went without prizes. The exception to this was Mark Creasey, who took the MV60 prize. Well done also to Katherine, who set a new club LV55 record (which would also have beaten the LV35 and LV45 records). Any other debuts, PBs or jokers, please let me know.

Some excellent performances by the ERR folk at Hooky. Well done to Robert and Kate W for finishing 1st in their categories, to everyone else for their category prizes (Dan was actually 3rd MV40, but took the category prize as those ahead of him won overall prizes), and to Dan, Mark B and Robert for winning the men's team prize ahead of some pretty stiff competition. There was a Keeley joker-fest, and Keith wasn't in club colours (or any other recognisable colour, for that matter), so no points and a jobsworth award for me.

Some notable performances by a decent ERR turn-out for the 2nd Combe Motavation. Well done in particular to Robert for finishing top of the very competitive MV50 category, to Mark B for such a high finishing position overall, and our men's A team of Mark, Robert, Dafydd, Pete, Benedict and Arthur for finishing as 3rd men's team in what is a high quality competition. Among the ERR ladies, well done to Katherine and Kate W for winning their categories and to Alison for improving her time on this course by over 3 minutes over last year. No jokers that I am aware of, so please let me know if you played yours. Updated 31/7 to include Steve Butler.

Some pretty spectacular results on the flat and fast Didcot course. Kate A celebrated becoming a fully fledged ERR runner by finishing 3rd lady overall, winning the LV45 category, setting a new PB, and taking Katherine's club LV45 record in the process. Katherine made up for the disappointment of this by setting a new PB and taking the club LV55 record. Hannah took the overall ladies title (and a very impressive hamper of honey) in a time just 7 seconds outside her own club record, despite a couple of 'unscheduled' stops on the way. Meanwhile Robert won the MV50 category and took Tony's 12 year old club MV50 record in the process. Kerry and Alison both set PBs, and if anyone else did, or played their joker, please let me know. Steven wasn't in club colours, so no points for him and the jobsworth hat for me.

Another excellent turnout at Combe, with 48 ERR runners (if you include Kate A, who officially transfers tomorrow) out of the 351 overall. Congratulations to Hannah for finishing 1st SL and 2nd lady overall, to Katherine (1st LV55), and Kate (1st LV65). Also, the ERR men were 3rd in the team category (1st 6 finishers count) and the ERR ladies 2nd (first 3 count).

A shame there were no prizes for 2nd place at Thame, as Robert, Mark C and Katherine all did very well to finish 2nd in their categories (incidentally, the winning LV55 lady was faster than the LV35 and LV45 winners). Also, the ERR men were 2nd in the men's team competition, while the ERR ladies were a creditable 3rd. Well done to Richard for an excellent PB, even if he didn't quite manage to dip under the magic 40 minute mark. Still, it's good to have something to aim for. Congratulations also to Marina, who set a PB and finished under 53 minutes for the first time. A further mention for Anna, who finished despite being stung by a bee half-way round, which added about 2 minutes to her time. It was a joker-fest among the ERR ladies, but none that I know of from the men. Let me know if this wasn't the case.

Excellent to see 47 ERR runners at a hot and sunny Bletchingdon, and well done to all the ERR who either led or finished high up in their categories - it can't be bad to have the winners of the U19 and V65 categories. No jokers that I know of, but please let me know if you played yours.

Thanks to everyone who braved the pretty miserable weather to take part in or help out with this year's handicap race. Firstly, congratulations to Fraser Muir who repeated his victory from last year in the Junior race, with a time of 9:05. Below are the results of the adults' race in all their detail, so you can see where it was won and lost. The category winners are shown in italics, and congratulations to Antony for his overall victory, which led to him taking home the famous trophy, as well as a voucher for a free sports massage at Summertown Clinic. As usual, there were a few people for whom I didn't have any reference times, so couldn't calculate a handicap. At least you'll have one next year...
