Results

Thanks as usual to everyone who turned out, either to run or help out in some way in what was another enjoyable evening. As you can see from the results below, we had something of a 'runaway' winner - quite literally, in fact, as no one got close to catching Sue. Checking the records, as you do, Sue improved on her time in last year's race by 8 minutes and, although the handicap is also based on some other races, there's no doubt who the most improved runner was. Well done also to Tom, who not only set the fastest time of the night, a rapid 27:16, but he was also closest to his handicap time, being a mere 3 seconds off it. Here are the results. Penny hadn't registered beforehand, so was set off alongside Adrian, which possibly a suitable starting time, although we'll know better next year.

The weather relented just in time for the race itself, and the hill was still present and correct. If anyone other than Adrian played their joker, please let me know.

Great to see so many ERR folk at this friendly local race. With 20% of the entrants, perhaps it's not surprising there were so many category placings (did they give out prizes?). Let me know if anyone else played their joker, or ran a PB.

Even if the temperature had dipped a bit compared to the previous day, the Combe 1 hills were still present and correct. Well done to the decent number of ERR folk who turned out, in addition to those who supported or marshalled.

Well done to all the ERR folk who completed the Otmoor course, which I suspect hasn't got any easier in the decade or more since it was last in the club championship. Particular congratulations to the category prize winners mentioned below, as well as our 2 teams who came first and second in that competition. They were: Eynsham Speedies - Tom, Robert, Dave and Chantelle Eynsham Snails - Ben, Rhea, Stephane and Ros If anyone played their joker, please let me know.

A pretty decent turnout of ERR folk, considering that numbers were so hard to come by. Even the weather improved by the time we ran, although it was still pretty muddy for much of the course. Well done, as ever, our various category prize winners.

Yes, summer is here, in the shape of the Motavation series, if not the weather. Great to see so many ERR folk at Charlton, in what looked to be a bumper field overall. Congratulations to Queenie for finishing 1st in her category, and to Katherine for finishing 2nd in hers.

A bit breezy out in the vale today, so all the more reason to congratulate all the ERR folk there, and especially Robert for his category win, and Tom, Matt, Robin and Chantelle for their PBs. Apparently, Tom, Robert, Matt and Richard also took the 3rd prize for the men's team, so well done to them. No jokers played that I am aware of, so please let me know if you played yours.
