My thanks go to everyone who took part in this
Predictor Race.
As you
know, the aim of a Predictor Race is
not to be the first runner home but to be the runner who achieves a time
nearest to their predicted time. The first runner home was Reg Chapman. After reviewing the results and, in consultation with
my co-time keeper, Janet, we decided
to award four prizes.
Firstly a
prize went to the person who least knew how good a runner they were and came in
5 min 47 seconds faster than they
anticipated, which was Dorothy.
Secondly a prize, (and for reasons which became obvious), was awarded for the
first lady, which of course went to Celia,
who came in 38 seconds under her predicted time. This prize was a wooden duck
acquired free from the seat of a restaurant as it has been left behind by a
previous occupant!!!!
Not
wanting to repeat the mistakes of the last holiday predictor, and after
checking and double checking, we had joint winners. The first of these winners
was Derek who came in minus one second and the other was,
wait for it, - John, who also came in minus one second of his predicted time.
All
runners, you will see from the table above, did remarkably well and were quite
near to their individual predicted times. The results were also, of course,
subject to a final scrutiny of Boss
Wrinkly.
