Competitive Miles 2008 – 09
Small beginnings – Miles to date December 2008
It is early
days but already we have 76 competitive members, and we have just topped our
first 1000 miles with 1067.9.
This has
involved 13 races, starting just 1hr 10 minutes after the last finisher in the
Wesham 10k crossed the line to complete last year’s Competitive Miles.
·
Peter
Waywell tops the list with 55 miles
after just two races: come on!
·
George
Flanagan is second with 48.2 miles,
following up a marathon with a further three races all in three weeks; where’s
the recovery?
·
Nigel
Shepherd is third with 33.1
because he never stops racing!
·
Mick
Edge is determined to beat
·
And Lee Barlow is inspired and comes up fifth with 30.2 miles.
Carmel, Kath and Michaela are the
first three women with 29.2, 29.1
and 27.2 miles apiece, - how close
is that? They are at a disadvantage
though at this time of year with the shorter distances in the women’s cross
country races.
We have had 31 runners in the December Handicap and 36
in the Rudolph Red Nose Race.
The races so
far in December are:

So far this
is just an early view of December’s
miles, for you to put your feet up in front of the fire over Christmas, round off this year and
begin planning next year’s campaign.
I will need
some sort of verification process so I will probably publish everyone’s miles
month by month up to October 2009. If I have missed any of your
races then please let me know.
The recording
of Competitive miles for 2008 – 09 ends after the Wesham 10K in November 2009.
