Brian followed closely by Heidi

There were 27 Ely Runners and 4 guests in the time staggered start for the club's annual handicap race on a fast one lap loop to/from Lt Downham via Pymore. Conditions were ideal for running, being mild, still and overcast which probably contributed to several personal bests in this hotly contested event.

Brian Partridge, fresh from mountain training, won in 1:59 below his handicap time closely followed by Heidi Fochtmann (-1:42), Glyn Loveday (-1:29), and Peter Gipp (-1:26) with 9 others (see results attached and below) ahead of their handicap time. Most of the rest were not far behind their handicap times.

Organisers and helpers were: entries and results Rod Baron, timekeeping Peter Harris, first aid Max d'Ayala, drink station/photography Simon Jackson, start/finish photography Sophie Gates, course marking Peter Gipp, en route monitoring Adam Etches, and handicap times John Turner.

After the race everyone enjoyed sandwiches and chips in the Prince Albert beer garden where Chairman Peter Gipp awarded the winner's perpetual shield to Brian Partridge with a bottle of wine plus bottles of wine to fastest runner Alex Tate and 1st guest (walker) Terry Braverman of Newmarket & Enfield clubs.
