The Big W

Friday 28th August 2015

Thanks to all the runners, supporter and drinkers that turned out on Thursday evening to enjoy the wonders of the W and a social at Juggs in Kingston.
After the short sharp rain shower that preceded the event the sky cleared for a beautiful evening, although the chalk was made a tad slippery. Runners could choose which direction to tackle the three mile loop in and the start was staggered according to runners own estimates, which made the event all the more interesting.
First home was Richard and only 42 seconds under his estimate.
Donald was fastest around the course in 22:44 but 2:44 slower than his estimate (that slippery chalk got to him).
Jamie was only 1 second short of hisestimateand therefore the one to run closest to his estimate.
As we left the hill the sun was setting and a near full moon rising and all was lovely.
