Oxford Self-Transcendence Summer Races 2016

It was a good turnout with 53 runners signing on for the last race of the season. Conditions were good, with the threat of rain, just holding off.

Congratulations to Matthew Rallison (Edinburgh Univ) who was first in a time of 22.35. First women was Sarah Dudgeon (Abingdon A) in a very good time of 25.50

Thanks to Graham Pickup for being the referee for all our four races this season.

Trying to work out all the Grand Prix standings straight after race was a little difficult, apologies for some mistakes creeping in. Ideally, I would take it home and sort out, but it is best to try and give all prizes on the evening.

Any mistakes or missed trophies contact me at tejvan (at) cyclinginfo.co.uk and I will endeavour to sort it.

Next season we will back with the usual calender of races in May and June.

Any corrections to tejvan (at) cyclinginfo.co.uk

The first race of the season was run under wet conditions. After an untypically warm May weekend, it rained throughout the evening, though at least it stayed reasonably warm. However, it didn't stop 35 interprid runners making their way to Cutteslowe Park for the first Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team race of the season.

Congratulations to Nick Wilshire of Reading who won in a time of 16.07. First women was Chloe Ridewood (Abingdon AC) 22.17. There was a good turn out from Headington, Abingdon and Oxford. Also good to welcome a few new runners to the series.

Notes

• Please send any corrections (Name, Club, times) to tejvan(at)cyclinginfo.co.uk. The rain did make some things a little hard to read.
• We found a bike lock left under the tree. If it was yours, contact Tejvan and I'll try to return it.
• Apologies for running behind schedule with registration, but I think a few runners were in the same boat. Heavy traffic, due to road works, at the Wolvercote Roundabout is likely to last all season.
• The next race is in two weeks on May 23rd. (2 miles)
