RR10 2016 - Hursley

The 2016 Rr10 season is now finished.  I ran the final race at Hursley on 17 August.  It's a different kind of course from most of the series, being 3 laps of the IBM grounds... a bit less wild, but an interesting and varied course nonetheless.

It was a hot, humid evening.  We had a longish wait at the start to get going, with a large field of runners.  Southampton AC were out in force in the front of the pack.  The relatively simple terrain made for a fast race and I pushed hard, hoping to beat my season's worst position of 30th... but I arrived in a sweaty heap at the finish, in a not-quite-good-enough 31st position.  Never mind... the lovely Mrs S was cheering me on, and we stopped on the way home for some fish and chips.

Waiting for the start

Final stats for the 2016 season:
Overall position 19th (2015: 24th)
M40 position 5th (2915: 3rd)
Overall ranking 90.70% (2015: 88.23%)

All good fun.  Roll on next year!
