Summary: Run in sub-zero conditions on hard-frozen
ground with stretches of light snow.
A hilly, cambered course which would especially suit
someone with a left leg significantly shorter than the right. Strong turnout
from the menÕs team, with a few welcome additions, although some absences and
injuries hampered our efforts.
League rivals Reigate dug out some of their fair-weather runners and
leapt ahead of us in the overall table, although they are going to have to do
better than fixture 1 to hold us off in the last race, so everything still to
play for.
Well done to
Ben Osborn for leading the team home, and to Graham Brook, Rob Tyman, Simon
Brazil and Steve Annett who have competed in all 5 ÒcountersÓ to date.
