Wow.  What a performance from our girls.  Three of them entered this race and they took the first three places.  You cannot get any better than that.

It was blustery wind and thick mud for the second of the Bunny Run series, but those conditions seem to have suited Jimmy Craig who managed a faster time than last week and he took a comfortable first place.   Andrew Smith always puts in a consistently good performance and he did so again by once more finishing 1st M60.  It was also good to see new member Sarah Allen make this her debut race for the club.

2 Robert Cranham (2nd V45)

Our long distance specialist, John Boothman once more took part in this race. He developed a knot in his left calf after 25 miles.  It took some sorting and it slowed him up for a while..  The head wind was tough and it was very cold. but underfoot the going was good.  John overall was happy with his result.
