Phoenix Ladies: not the weakest link

Phoenix Ladies proved they are not the weakest link for the second year running by finishing first ladies in this annual event.

The Weakest Link is an annual team event held at the Duke's Mound on the Marine Parade. Each team comprises of four runners who run a 2.5km leg each in relay, the final fifth lap is run all together. As you have to cross the line as a team you can only run as fast as your slowest member.

This year's event was especially well attended with runners competing from all over Brighton & Hove. The course is cleverly thought out making the most of the little hills there are and a long, straight against the wind. Phoenix entered 5 teams and competition amongst us was as fiercely fun as always. Although coming forth within the Phoenix teams, the all lady team of Zeina, Jane, Gill & Kathryn finished as the first all female team overall.
