Yesterday evening 31 Striders took part in the Summer Handicap. This was possibly the warmest evening of the year so far, so nobody could blame anyone for not wanting to run (including myself who took the easier option of running first thing in the morning when it was much cooler.) Everyone, however, completed the 5 mile route in some commendable times. Congratulations to Sofia Robottom, who came in first and therefore won the cup and to John Hobbs who had the fastest time, despite the heat. Many thanks to our marshals Tim, Liz, Simon, Steve, James, Ian, John, Pat, Sally and Kathy; to Mike and Eileen for their time keeping and Andy for the photographs on the route. Also thanks to Bob, who has processed the results so quickly.
