31 runners took part in the opening race of the 2011/12 Club Handicap Season. The field included 3 ‘first timers’, one of whom, Rick Emery, first ran with the Club in the early 80’s. He recorded a very creditable time of 22:42 finishing in 2nd. position and clocking the same finish time as Club Captain Chris Coghlan who ran an 18:12 PB. Greg Whiteman was 3rd., 12 secs. behind with Pete Tozer a further 6 secs away in 4th.
This was a great result for Pete, whose PB time of 22:30 was his second in consecutive races, when you consider that his previous PB was set in April 2003! Simon Gerrard, 21:21, was the 3rd. runner to PB, but, it being the first run of the season, everybody else had an SB.
Read on for the results.
