SAINTS AND SINNERS TRAIL, wednesday 3rd june '09

‘’SAINTS AND SINNERS’’
…a DEVIL of a trail race…..

CLICK ON ROUTE IMAGES TO ENLARGE

Another excellent turnout proves Thaxted to be a popular venue for trail running with 88 keen and eager runners (and Walkers)turning up on what was the coolest evening for several days. (Three new runners didn't sign out so there's no result for them unfortunately, although naturally they loved it and will be back!).

The Church gates hadn't been this crowded since last year's race (except maybe for the Morris Dancers which B Team member Hammond will be able to tell you about if you buy him a pint or two).

Sean and Alan from Colchester Harriers did actually finish together, but the good looking timekeeper's fingers reacted slowly due to the below zero temperature. Nevertheless, 2nd trail only runer, Mark Eden, finished a credible 3rd less than a minute behind the Colchester pair. He commented at the gates after the race that he could easily have made up this difference as he'd gone wrong during the race. Obviously this is simply down to his inability to follow perfectly formed instructions and we say you need to run more trails Mark because there's no doubt that you have winning potential!

First lady home was Pru Heyhough from Grange Farm who ran an exceptional race.

Unfortunately all the winner's left before collecting their prizes so the organisers put the money back in the Church collection box.

The last B Team trail of the year will be The Last of the Summer Whine from Newarks Farm Good Easter on September 20th (a Sunday). It's a good race if you enjoy meeting people (a clue!). There will be an after race BBQ prepared by our own Michelin star chef. All proceeds and donations to the Essex Air Ambulance.

Thanks for coming. Those who know realise it's bundles of work! See you next time

Return of the Magnificent 7 results

thanks to all those who attended tonight's race from the Black Bull in FYFIELD. Results are below in a format that I just can't get easier to read for some reason. Anyway, i'm sure that you'll all b able to get the gyst of who came where and when!!

The pub lanslords, Tony and Nicky, make us so welcome and this year's bbq was the best spread yet! We've asked them if we can use their facilities again next year. We aim to make it a bit later in the month of May '10 where hopefully it'll be a bit warmer and bring out more. Either way, 65 for the first Wednesday evening isn't that bad.

We intend NOT to go across the cattle field next year! It's just too much hard work!!!

We've added satelite and road images so you can see where you went, especially the quirky up down around and in and out bit. Double click on image to enlarge. PURELY IN ERROR, we routed over a private track (tl and continue on rhfe/ by the water stops). We will be saying sorry to the landowner today! We aim not to upset people. Sometimes we do.

NEXT RACE- SAINTS AND SINNERS, THAXTED CHURCH, 1ST WEDNESDAY IN JUNE. FLYER SOON!!!!
