Results for British Masters road relays, 12-May-2012

Eight Sphinx AC men and four Sphinx AC women took part in this year’s British Masters’ road relays at Sutton Park. Each leg was a whisker under three miles, with a challenging uphill stretch pretty much straight out of the starting gate. The uphill stretch ended with a turn into a forceful headwind, which followed with some moderately undulating paths. After dodging the cows at mile two, the route was mostly through tree-lined road before the final turn into the home straight, which is frustratingly uphill back to the start/finish/handover area.
