Firstly, from the Sphinx book of excuses for missing this event we have:
From Dave West, “I’m saving myself for Saturday”
From Laura Pibworth-Dolinski, “I’m moving house in 2 weeks and need to do some packing”
From Luke Makins, “I’m moving house in 2 weeks and need to do some packing”
Yes, the Weedon 10k is a toughie, but it is not a geographical paradox, so what goes up must come down and, although you will need crampons, a rope and an oxygen tank to get to the top, from 8 kms you just have to hope that your parachute (or your reserve) opens for the descent into the village.
In the race itself Andrejs again performed magnifiently, finishing 3rd overall with a 10k PB to boot!
Course debuts for Lisa, Laura, Mary and Andy Mc and we wish them all a speedy recovery.
Finally, next week (Tuesday 30th June) is the last EMGP race of the series and probably the least interesting (and furthest away) of all eight races in the competition. However, it would be great if we could get a good crowd of us there to support and congratulate Andrejs, who is destined to win a series award for his outstanding performances throughout. So, if you do fancy coming along, meet at the club at 5.30 p.m. (note earlier time) for car share.
