RR10, Race 2 - Stubbies Bite Back!
The second RR10 event of the summer took place at Longdown Inclosure, Ashurst, and it proved to be more popular than ever. A fantastic 54 Stubbies braved the insects, bugs, and forest creatures, and turned out to represent the club. It was also good to see our Chairman out and about again after his "cider marathon" exploits, hopefully we will see his quads back in action soon too.
The total number of runners was up from Race 1 (330) to 366 as the recently formed Southampton AC made there official debut in 2010, having hosted race 1.
There were some notable Stubbie performances on the night with Lewis (4), Andy (6) and Wayne (9) all achieving a top 10 place, something even the winning Southampton AC team were not able to pull off.
With strong running from Dave (18) and Ray (24) Stubbie ranked 2nd on the night in the mens team event, holding off New Forest in 3rd. Susie (13), back and running strongly after her marathon, lead the ladies team home to 6th place on the night, being well supported by Sally (16) and Penny (27), who both clearly enjoy the delights of off-road racing.
The course had a bit off everything, with a fast and furious start along the tracks, being quickly followed by a sandy section, some forestry, open heath land, and the obligatory water jump. Well some of us jumped it, and some of us didn't! The state of the shoes at the end was the tell tale sign, or the lack of shoes if your name is Phil May. You'd think that the XC Captain would be prepared, and do his laces up properly wouldn't you?
It was a lesson to be learned for the RR10 debutants on the night who included the Emily Hall, Claire Borrowdale, Ed White, Julia Park, Tracie Jarvis, and maybe the next generation Stubbie, young Jordan Chalk. Hopefully they all enjoyed it and will be back for more, along everyone else.
Unfortunately RR10 stalwart Jaz was not able to join us, and we wish her a speedy recovery after her recent injury. It would be great to see Jaz back in action soon, and to sample her delicious cakes too, of course. Get well soon Jaz.
The social committee eventually nominated the Happy Cheese as the debrief location, which seemed to meet with most people's requirements, even if the mass orders for cheesy chips did take the chef a little by surprise. He must have been looking for a quiet Wednesday night, and did not realise that the Stubbies were in town, and were looking for chips!
The next race is on 19th May at 7.30pm at Wilverley Inclosure, Sway, and well before then I am sure that Tim will confirm a location for the debrief, after consulting with his pub guide and committee of course.
