Race conditions

overcast, no wind, not too cold

Report

Almost perfect running conditions, still steady new year resolutions, the thought of laughing at the new Handicap team, and knowing that two great athletes were due to collect their "100th T Shirts" conspired to make this the second most heavily subscribed Handicap ever. 97 runners queued patiently while the new Handicap team puzzled over scratch runner times and the like and then eventually set off in equally good spirits with the new team clicking watches and shouting names and Jon Knox patiently saying "It might work better next time if you do it like this."

Ros Young was our winner in a net time of 39.50, doubly exciting since she was also one of the winners of the "100th T shirts"; Paula Lueshing was a creditable second in 46.28 (a PB); while Rob Crangle trotted over the line to take third place in 30.16 (Don't worry, Rob, no comments at this stage!)

Once the BBC reporter had interviewed Ros Young and Jan Farmer (our other 100th T shirt winner) to try to understand their motivation for continuing to push those boundaries; and had listened carefully to Eddie Brocklesby, age 66, explaining her iron man challenge last September, and then asked her if she would describe herself as 'normal' (I didn't catch the answer) we were able to give out the medals and present those T shirts to Ros and Jan. Jan said how important her Serpentine friends had become, equal to those she had made at university; and Ros stunned us all by reminding us that she had won the race three times during her one hundred runs, each in a different decade! Following that we found the champagne, fruit cake and other goodies very welcome.

Please also note that Jon Knox' report for the January 2010 handicap can be found at http://serpentine.org.uk/rdb/handicap/showhandicap.php?race=5638
