RR10 Race 10, Hursley IBM - Results
What a blast that was! The last race of the season at Hurley IBM. Superb results, well done everyone that took part in any of the 10 races. You were all a part of scoring for one of the many WADAC teams that made up this league. Thank you!
Hursley House, home to IBM and in the 1940's the developers of the Spitfire, positively glowed in the evening sun as we sped past and enjoyed the beautifully kept grounds. The course was 4.5 miles, grass and gravel tracks, short, sharp inclines and some super tight cornering. None of this seemed to slow our Winchester runners though.
Helen Hall led the ladies home, first lady to finish and excellently supported by Erin Willmers who was 3rd (first of many RR10's we hope!) and ever reliable, jolly, chatty and consistent Ellie Davies 5th. Ellie has excelled in all 10 races this year. Our ladies team came first.
Our men's team came first on the night and comprised of Jacques Caignard 5th, James Moore 7th, Glenn Churchill 8th (first of many...), Paul Boyd-Leslie 11th and super consistent Pete Sansome 12th.
Overall big season achievements are:
Ladies won the league
Men came 2nd behind Romsey by 2 points
Ellie Davies was our top performing lady, 2nd overall, beating 99.19 of the other female runners in the best of 6 races (PFB)
Paul Boyd-Leslie was our top performing man, 10th overall beating 96.41 other male runners and also winning the M50 category, beating every other M50 in every single race that he took part in
Pete Sansome 2nd M40 beating 98.43 of his age category
Wayne Bevan 3rd M40 and beating 97.97
Martyn West won M70, beating every other M70 in every single race that he took part in!
(W60 is an age category that has lots of scope for a bit more action next year!)
Simone Paulson has taken part in 6 of the races and has gently got a little larger at each race and baby is due in a couple of months time!
Finally, enormous thanks to Alan Tulip, who publishes and processes the results so quickly, calmly and efficiently.
Well done everyone. Sit back and relax and recharge ready for the first CC6 on Sunday 8th October at 9.30am.
