12Â Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this unusual race, with the winners being those achieving (without any watch or phone) a time closest to their pre-race prediction.
It was good to see many run quicker than they expected. We also had the bizarre sight of Andy stopping 20 feet short of the finish line and having a lengthy chat as he knew that he was well inside his prediction. Unfortunately, he overcooked the chat!
