Southam Goes Solo
Stilton Strider Chris Southam recorded a gun to tape victory, running solo for almost the entire race. It is a measure of the quality of his performance that he was only 1 second outside of Garry Payne's course record of 34.19, a time which was set in last year's highly competitive race. Behind Chris, the race was a lot closer. A small group, including John Grindley of Coritainians, Mark Chamberlain and Jason Weetman of Wreake got away early on. John opened up a small gap on the first ascent of Church Hill but Mark closed him down on the descent into Glooston. On the second lap, again, John was stronger on the climb and this time the break was decisive. Peter made it a good day for the Hoggs, picking up the male vets prize.
After last year's star studded line up, the ladies race was a bit more low key. However, it provided a moment in the spotlight for Larraine Porter of West End who has been a consistent performer on the County scene for a while. Debbie Napier (formerly of OWLs) was second and Trinity Booth of Hogweed Trotters (from Gloucestershire, since you ask) was third.
We hope everyone enjoyed their run and look forward to seeing you all next year!
