01.01.2022 Another great write up from Bazil.................TERRY ROAD THE ROUNDUP Despite what one club members described as the worst conditions in 25 years, we ha...d more runners (22) than the previous week. Well done to all yesterday’s Bravehearts and to the officials who made it happen for us : the multi-skilled Sarah; our visitor Max; recorders Meagan and Karina and the Gentle Giant, Craig Thank you to all who turned out - and that includes any suffering, chauffeuring parents! These are the results of the races and the Committee will announce the champions at the annual windup. However, yesterday every runner was a winner : a great athlete said on one occasion, The next best thing to winning is losing because you had the courage to be part of the race. So, we congratulate everyone who took part and made it a genuine championship. It was a thoroughly enjoyable series at Terry Road this year despite what we all have to deal with. Thank you all, especially our faithful band of helpers. See more
