9
members went up to Llanwrtyd Wells to race against the horses over
this gruelling 22 mile course. We entered 2 teams to do the distance
in relays, and 4 members undertook to race the whole thing.
Dimitri
was first home in 2 hours, 44 mins. He finished 9th in his category,
and 16th overall. A stunning achievement.
Emma
put in an outstanding performance, winning 2nd Ladies Prize. Her
time was 2:58:26. Sadly she missed the first lady by just 30 seconds.
Julie
Davies was next in, in a time of 3:09:40, and was actually 1st Lady
Vet - but a mix up on her entry meant this was overlooked.
Jan
Richards also completed the whole 22 miles, finishing in a time
of 3 hours 57 mins.
Our
relay teams - Pete Rodger, Nick Walsh & Richie ("Dont Spare
the Horses") were 8th overall, whilst the "Griff Girls"
- Emma, Wendy and Christine - were stunned and delighted to discover
they had taken 3rd ladies team prize. (39th overall)
The
accumulated times for each team were 2:51:59 and 3:23:26.
258
individual runners raced the horses, and 73 relay teams.
