Despite the cold weather there was an excellent turn out for what is effectively our home race.
Ladies ran first - Erika came 3rd, Dawn 21st, Margaret 56th, Sue 67th & Ann 86th, with the team coming 7th.
The men followed dutifully behind - Matt came 2nd (a mere 3 seconds behind the winner - I'm sure Les will be working on your finishing kick !! ), Eric 19th on his first XC appearance for Buckley, Simon 24th, Dave 65th, Huge Lewis 67th, Jeff 76th, also on a first outing, Mike 101st, Pete 107th, Paul D 115th, 'the Goat' 129th, and the team were 2nd !!!!!! in their division. If only we'd done that in the other races .......
The next race is Telford's at Lilleshall on January 22nd

ReplyDeleteThanks to you all for braving the ice and the snow to take part – it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and wonderful to see 255 brave souls defying the weather in order to allow this meeting to be a great success.
Well done to Matt and Erika with the excellent placings. Ann and I watched Matt leading the way for the majority of the race
