Despite the wet and slippy conditions, 32 entrants took part in the August time trial. The course also had a few extra obstacles to get around due to building works soon after the start to run around and a fallen tree to get through about half way, which together with the weather didn’t help fast times.
The winner was Ernest Wong in 18min48 from Chee Evan in 19:01, with 3rd place going to the first woman Alice Hector. In 19:06. We were very glad to Andrew Hallam back running again and he came in a very creditable 5th place. A total of 27 finished under the qualifying time of 25 minutes.
Many thanks to the volunteers for organizing and marshalling the event.

MR25 would like to apologize that the results of the time trial on Sunday 7th Feb was not up to our usual standard, due to failure of our time system. The positions are all correct but times above 22min were only approximate. Anybody with a time below 25minutes will qualify for membership. We will rectify the issue by our next event. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
