Adrian also returned to CRO running with typical style – leading our mile times by an impressive 25 seconds and pushing Ian Barrett into 2nd place again. Last time Brian Harris was in the lead but this time they swapped places after Ian had cut 6 seconds off his last CRO mile and Brian slowed by 13 seconds. Streaming in just behind was Junior Isobel Watt with a fine 6.14. Sophie Chudley, another of our super competitive runners, also returned from injury with a bang finishing in 6.18 and so getting a cool 116.65% in the handicap list but even this was topped by a greater personal improvement from Rupert Chesmore which earned him an amazing 121.42%. Kate Sackett’s 6.35 put her next and, as usual, she topped the age graded list with 86.71%. 7th gun time place was shared after Alex Chudley combined with daughter Millie to run an aggregated total of 6.38 and Rupert’s blinder was the last to squeeze under the 7 minute barrier. James Widdowson also ran very well with his 7.08 earning him a fine handicap of 109.12%. Andy Kilby and Rachel Barrow also ran sub 8 minutes while Liza Darroch and Ruth Fulford both managed to run sub 9 to, again, feature highly in the age grading. Rachel Barrow (7.54), Martin Croucher (8.28) and Louise Abbott (9.10) have all run faster before – but only just. Finally Pam Wheeler continued to nurse her injury back to health with a steady 10.13.

HANDICAP RACE
To work out the handicap score, your last 1 mile run has been used. Your original time divided by your new time has produced a percentage. Any percentage higher than 100, means you have run quicker this week. For people whom this run is their first 1 mile performance, I have simply given them 100.
