Final Pennington Results

Posted by speedygeoff on Thursday, March 03, 2005 with
Well it's all over now bar the shouting. (at the pub to celebrate the outcome, that is.)

The final race in the series, the 1500, was at 7:15 pm today.

After two races, Colin Farlow was one point in front of John Morton, with only today's race to go.
Because Colin is an M40 and John an M45, Colin gave John a start, 8 seconds.

Could Colin catch John's 8 seconds and thus clinch the series? John's recent times were better than Colin's, BUT Colin gained most of that time! The first time he has run faster than John in a race this season, if my memory serves me right. *Can't check! Website gone again!

Additionally, although Colin finished behind John, no-one finished between the two, the score was tied, and Colin won on a count back owing to the simple fact that John turned 45 more recently than Colin turned 40.

What if Damien, Phil, Jenny P. had run?

If I had been John, I would have been rounding up as many other starters as possible.

Well done Colin!

More results to be published tomorrow
