Handicap 4 results from Arthur
Hi Everyone,
Brrrrrrrr, it was a cold morning, and the first frost of the handicap season. At least the sun was out to welcome us, and with hardly any wind, it was a good day.
The course was fairly good, but slightly slippery in places where the sun had got rid of the frost. At least the leaves had gone over the majority of the course, mainly due to the number of people who take their dogs "walkies". The wind last week had a good go at making the course "awkward", but except for one tree, which was too big for me to move, a lot of the branches and dead wood from the trees were moveable, so the course cleaned up quite well.
Without looking back, I think we had one of the biggest turn outs ever with 40 running ( 39 today, as I did mine yesterday ).
Julian Sherman, who runs as a guest, again broke the course record with a time of 48:15. Another guest runner, Andy Blenkinsopp, ran 52.38.
Simon Riviere has kept up his good season with a PB over each of the four races to date.
I am sorry to mention this ( no I am not ), but Katy Warren who is recovering from injury, decided to do one lap with her young daughter Evie......and Evie showed her how the big hill towards the end of each lap should be attacked, leaving Katy well behind. Well done Evie.
We had fifteen PB's and 19 improved on their handicap.

Finally who went home topless.....when I unloaded the car, I found a burgundy running vest. So who ran the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon on Sunday 12 October 2008. I have had a quick look at the results and could not discover whose vest it is. The size is "S".
Please note that parking is very limited. It would help if you can car share or come by bicycle.

Handicap 5 results from Arthur
Two weeks ago I started this with, "Brrrrrrrr, it was a cold morning, and the first frost of the handicap season. At least the sun was out to welcome us, and with hardly any wind, it was a good day".
Today it was cold, and there was no frost, but it felt even colder than two weeks ago because the sun did not come out and although not raining it felt very damp.
The course was reasonably good, but there was slightly more mud about. Virtually all the leaves had gone and a clear path had developed around the course. The tree roots were now visible and were avoidable if you stuck to the "path" and avoided treading on the flour highlighting the roots.
We had 34 attacking the course today, with 11 PB's (with another 5 missing out by a few seconds) and 20 improving on their handicap. Congratulations on all who achieved PB's on a course and weather not at it's best. With one race left this season we have had 65 PB's to date.

The last handicap is on Sunday 11 March 2012. Please note change of date.
