Kirkstone
Handicap race
7.00pm 13th DECEMBER, 2011
Wild
wintry weather with snow higher up may have been
forecast, but it was just a strong wind that
materialised, blowing at the runners backs and
giving everyone a faster time, perhaps reducing
times by one to two minutes. 16 runners set
off at intervals from the bottom of Kirkstone,
near the Golden rule pub, and attempted to be
first to the line at the top, cheered on by
Britta and Ben half way up with a clanging cow
bell, Tour de France style.
Every
runner, in theory, had a chance of victory, though Paul
the handicap setter clearly underestimated the amazing
powers of recovery of Mhairi, who only the weekend
before had made a valiant attempt at a winter BG,
getting as far as Bowfell before conceding defeat to the
snowy fells. Just about everyone finished within four
and a half minutes of the winner. For the second year
running Hugh had the fastest time and Rich had a good
run to be second quickest.
Well done to
everyone who took part, and thanks to Ken for helping
with time keeping. Same time next year: 2nd Tuesday in
December.
