There was a good turn out for the November handicap with 12 runners & dog Zara. My lasting memory of the evening will be Paul trying to remove his long tracksters over his running shoes with about 3 seconds to go until his start time. Needless to say, he was not successful and started the run with his trousers round his ankles but pulling them up as he dashed across the road!
The drama of the trouser incident did not affect Paul’s run too much and he was sixth back, having started last, Tim Hoyle was first back to claim the bottle of wine. Eight of the runners were all within a minute of their predicted time and Tony and Linda/Sasha were just a couple of seconds out. Ten of the runners were back within 2.5 minutes of each other – pretty good handicapping even if I say it myself! Full results below.
