🌤Another dry evening welcomed those who took part last week at Lady Dixon.
🏃♀️It was great to see a good turn out, with lots of newcomers joining us for a fun evening of running/walking the park.
🗺Lovely to plan and run on the updated map (thanks Stephen). Anastasiia’s courses received lots of compliments afterwards, with the long legs in particular causing good discussion about route choice. The fact that she brought us straight into the rose gardens had our heads spinning from the start.
This was the second of four events in the (handicapped) August WEE series – so lets see who the early leaders are:
Short Course
1st Alan Gartside M80 (195 points), 2nd Andrew Crothers M14 (192), 3rd Jennifer Dawson W10 (189).
Long Course
Men: 1st Simon Reeve M45 (197), 2nd Paul Daniels M50 (191), 3rd Keith Dawson M40 (182).
Women: 1st Sarah Gamble (180), 2nd Lauren Howe (141), 3rd Stephanie Pruzina (100).
Juniors: Euan Kennedy M14 is leading the way.
👍Thank you to Dan (coordinator), Anastasiia (Planner), Ric (planner mentor and starter) and Mark E (starter), Sarah and Peter (Control collectors). And Mark P for having a birthday on a Wednesday evening so we could enjoy his cake!
🌺This evening we are exploring Antrim Castle Gardens and surrounds. Between the urban area and the parkland, there will be puzzles to work out and some fast running (hopefully in the right direction).
☕Sorry, I forgot the cups last week, hopefully I will remember everything this evening – so the tea and coffee with treats will be on offer – please bring a small donation which will go towards the Juniors. See you there!
