Bampton to Tiverton (7.1m)

[The White Horse at Bampton - the race start since 1946]

Great to see such a good turn-out from us 'oldie' members today -- and in Jamie one of the youngest -- all a credit to the club.

Much to my surprise once I read the results, I was 1st V60 behind John -- no idea why they missed me on the list, but at least that was some consolation for the slowest (%-wise) race I have ever run. Ho hum... wonder if I'll ever fire on all cylinders (not to say two feet) again sometime.

Today's results:
Tom M - 2nd in 37:12 (Tom looked strange in Bristol AC colours)!
Jamie P - 4th in 38:53 (What a great run)!
Andy J - 40th in 47:22
Andy K - 49th in 48:50
John P - 66th in 50:51 (1st V65)-(How does he do it?)
Bob W - 67th in 50:51 (Nearly a dead-heat)
Rog R - 77th in 52:10 (1st V60)!
Ray E - 88th in 53:24 (3rd V65)
Jim W - 104th in 55:32 (4th V65)
Mick A - 133rd in 58:55

And a happy time was enjoyed by all.

Thanks to Mandy Marvin all the way from Bedford who supported.

Last Sunday, the Harrier who likes to do things a little bit different, Mark Thompson, was brushing up his French at the Trail des Citadelles in Lavlenet.

The race, which is 73km (46 miles) long and has 3700m of climb, was won by Patrick Bruni in 8:22:54. Mark was 77th in 11:39:13 out of the 175 finishers.
