Warwickshire Road Relays Sutton Park 18th March 2006 Race Report.
It was too cold for road relays, much too cold,
but we still had three and a half teams out despite the usual contingent of ill and injured. Not
going to do a blow by blow account today too many of you! Tho’ one of you bought me a chocolate
cake; I see this as the way forward.
In the A team, Faye Manger , the
baby of this team; Clare Grice, clearly had the
run of the day for us; and Rachel Cook, once again struggling with the aftermath of an illness, combined
well to finish in 2nd place only narrowly missing out on victory by a few seconds.
In the B team Fliss
Bemrose, (short for Felicity) with supporters club, made her debut in splendid style; this
Lady is a vital part of our future (she bought the cake).
Michelle
Tanner bubbly as ever, and Louise
Heavy Metal Harman, with supporters club, were terrific back up. They finished 6th.
In the C team were Hannah
Hore, Clare Beaumont , and Rachel
Denham, who finished 11th.
Finally, my thanks to Pam
Rayment, and the ever present Wendy Morant
in the C team.
If one or two more of you brought supporters
clubs we could have a competition for them also.
Thank you to Josie Grey for
helping me with the timing, she also froze to death.
Regular readers of this rubbish will notice
that gradually the names are changing, with one or two exceptions, and new faces are coming in; team
spirit is as good, if not better than I’ve ever known it.
I struggled manfully from the course with seven
bottles of red wine in my rucksack, these belong to those of you running in the men’s and
women’s A teams. Any unclaimed bottles will be raffled off at the Awards night on April 1st
which I hope as many of you as possible will attend.
