Christmas Challenge

CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE 2011

What a great day at our first Christmas Challenge and congratulations to all the people who entered the challenge (list below).

The weather was kind to us for a change and we were walking, running and cycling with dry weather and cool temperatures, perfect for a challenge. Everyone set off at 7.45 am to enable the maximum amount of sunlight hours, but saying that, it was tough with only 8 hours of daylight. There was no time to dawdle. We were joined by Rima Chai from Surrey who enters marathons pulling a tyre from a rope around her waist, this time it was the pink 'girl' tyre. Everyone was so impressed as she dragged that tyre round the 26.6 mile multi terrain course.

Big well done also to Allan Myatt who was the only one to complete the 100 mile cycle challenge in the 8 hours alloted time.

With only 1 injury St John's ambulance had an easy day but their attendance as usual was always appreciated. Photos will be coming online soon, and the web team are now working on the entry forms for the Spring, Summer and September challenges.

I was so impressed with the positive attitude of all the competitors, even when 2 of the signs had obviously been removed and a bit of confusion was caused, the directions came out and all was well. Thank you everyone for your most positive feedback on the event and I look forward to seeing some of you again on the Spring Challenge on March 17th!
