Julian produced a storming run in todays race to finish in a time of 1:28:40 for 13th place out of a field of 400. But not to be outdone, it was Mick Morris who had the last laugh. Although finishing some 45 minutes later in 2:15, he actually won the V70 1st prize.

Richard Steel in his first Bowline, came in 54th in a time of 1:39:08. With conditions underfoot very wet and muddy after the overnight rain, this was a great effort. Julian Tombs was the next back in 67th place for a time of 1:40 - some 11 minutes quicker than last year. Stan Alexander came in next (1:46 for 102nd place) - although not repeating last weeks start at the Midlands, when he turned up with just seconds to spare before the start. he just edged out Roland Smythe (1:47 for 115th) to complete the team placings. Unfortunately, this year we could not repeat second place, and as of yet we are not sure where we finished.

Celia Mills was our first back for 165th place, whilst Jane McNally, also debuting at thedistance, completed the course in 2:16 for 299th place.
Bob Griffiths was our last one back with a time of 2:17 and 304th place.
