High Vinnals Up-Hill time trial

Race Reports

Report by Mark Paviour.

28 runners took on the challenge of the third running of the High Vinnalls Up-hill Time Trial in what was
perhaps one of the few Club Championship races we will be able to run this year. We had 100%
effort from everyone, with excellent results all round. There were new male and female course
records as the old ones were smashed. Additionally there were 6 improved age-group records.
We had 9 members making their debut and 10 pb’s were set. It was perfect weather for the event.
Because of the on-going timber extraction there was a bit of ‘wheel-spin’ start out of the boggy
bottom but soon out and on to fast-running hard pack.
