Yes, 55th place is quite respectable in respect to our other
positions. the best has been 49th, the worst 75th. The slower time was
obviously brought about by the high winds and the significant detour on leg 6.
Well done to one and all for getting around unscathed. Especially to Andy S
for staying perky after well over 20 miles of running.
16th position on leg 4 is fantastic. Well done, Steve and Andy. A new SMOC leg
record by some 5 minutes. Mike and Brian reckon they would have beaten our leg
5 record too, had Brian's calf not exploded a mile or so before the finish. It
will have to be next year, chaps.
Special thanks to Shirley for stepping into the breach at short notice yet
again. And to Paul for the 'photo's. Chris and Shirley look far too happy for
the top of the hill, and Jim looks somewhat gob smacked by the whole
experience!
To complete the debrief, here is the classic Pownall Progressograph and
results archive, comparing our race progress with some of our better previous
years.
Until 2004,
