Thank you for coming along to the first event of the summer sprint series at Gordon Community Woodland. I hope you enjoyed your run and your feet did not get too wet.
I was delighted that the weather was fair on the evening of the event, a couple of my reconnaissance trips in the weeks prior to the event were in heavy rain and on one occasion good parts of the area were underwater. In planning the Sprint course I wanted to give competitors stretches of good running, offer some opportunity for route choice and try to ensure the winning time was between 15 and 20 minutes.
As ever I had great help from other Reivers in organising. Lindsey helped with the computing aspects of the planning and entries , Robin provided updates of the map and also arrived early to help set up. After the event I had lots of volunteers to help with “putting the toys back in the box”. Michael, Robin, Bridget, Judith, Ian and Paul collecting in controls, banners and signs while Lindsey checked the SI units and putting them to bed.
Finally thanks to Gordon Community Woodland for allowing us to use the forest for the event.
Rob Cranston, Planner/Organiser
It was windy in the car park but quite warm in the woods, thanks to everyone who braved the weather forecast and came along. Results with split times are HERE
Thanks to Andrew for the updated map and doing the planning/organising plus the control collectors of Eileen, James, Judith, Rob and Robin.
Results with splits are HERE
Thanks to everyone who came along – over 60 of you ! Dundock Wood is tricky, fun and muddy in equal measures and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Apologies to Keith and James for the mis-management on control collecting which meant we’d taken in some controls before they got to them.
Extra thanks to Robin who came along early to help me put out controls, Eb/Ian/John/Rob who gave the cubs some instruction, Judith for helping with entries etc, James and Bridget for collecting in controls, and of course Tony Abbott for organising the Kelso cubs and their parents.
Our next event is on the Eildons on Sunday 3/3/24 which will have a variety of courses plus it’s a charity fundraiser for The Harris Trust. Entries are now open per the webpage link.
Provisonal results from Abbotsford are HERE. Well done to the two people who cleared the course and earned bonus bonus points, that was good going.
Thanks to everyone for the large turnout which makes Kate’s hard work on planning and organising worth the effort, and it was good to see a few new faces.
The Club Champion for 2024 is John Tullie with Colin Williams 2nd and Fiona Forrest 3rd. Kate may (or may not) share the handicap with us but I can vouch for the fact that the numbers were already in her laptop so there was no “fixing” after people finished !
Hope to see most of you at our next event which is in Dundock Wood (The Hirsel) amongst the rhododendrons. I’ve had fun planning the courses and you should have fun running there. I’ll update the webpage and add a link for pre-entries soon.
