Tom Corrigan is on fire at the moment. In this event, he was pitted against top European International runners - all younger men. Against this competition, he finished 30th overall, but bearing in mind that all but eight of those who finished ahead of him were Internationals, that is an incredible performance. With a performance like that, he was naturally first M40.

It was a disappointing turn out for this race which was caused by the Young Farmers altering the date for the show. The race winner was Andrew Cairns of Wharfedale who is an extremely good runner, yet he was pushed by under 17 boy Peter Sagar-Moss of Hyndburn and also under 15 boy Harry Bebb. The first woman home was Jackie Craven of Craven Energy. The first Barlicker was Robert Cranham doing his fourth race in four days.

Third race in three days. Robert Cranham is becoming addicted to racing. When the race started, the leaders set off at a brisk pace, but Robert made up his mind not to try and keep with them just for the sake of it, but to run his own race. As a result, when they reached the summit, he was in 7th place. However, he started gaining places on the descent and was within striking distance of second place, but he ran out of time (and legs). Still, with a podium finish and 1st M45, it has not been a bad day at the office.

On a warm evening, Robert Cranham ran his second race in two days. This time it was a race around the reservoir - the race with many gates! A third place finish and a box of Cookie Crisp was his prize.

This was the first run for John Boothman since the Summer Spine Race. He was very tired towards the end but super happy to get round in a half decent time, despite his lack of running and training since the London Marathon. John reports that this is a very well organised local event.
He has now resolved that it is time to get back to a bit more training.
