Poole Park Informal 6th September 2008

 

There were several courses offered   1K, 2.1K, 3.1K, 4.4K outside the park and a 30 minute score based on controls within the park. The weather was bad with frequent rain squalls and a force 6 wind. About 16 people braved the elements but Richard and Dale declined a run, Dale was resting before his next NF Marathon. They amused themselves by calibrating my disputed 100m pacing distance.

Which makes Dale the most Eagle Eyed but a 5K course must feel just like running a 15K to Eric.

 

Thanks to the club members for turning up and helping in foul weather, it makes putting on the event worthwhile. Also thanks for the generous donations given.
