The plaudits have been rolling in since Sunday, and they are well deserved: well done to our Events Coordinator and Race Director, Shahab on organising a fantastic race! And thank you very much to our marshals, without you the race cannot have been such an amazing success. The weather was very kind to us, and we repaid it’s faith in us tenfold: I will never get tired of people telling me what a great club we have and what a fantastic show we put on – take a bow team.
Congratulations to all the athletes who took part, there were some super quick times across the board. Well done to all the LFTCers who took part, you certainly answered the call to arms and I cannot wait to see where we are in the London League standings after Kath Braiser, Ellen Greaves, Harry Myers and Cecily Turner came third, first, first and third in their respective categories. Ellen took the overall female honours accompanied by Danny Russell, who finished the 400m swim and 5km run in under 23 minutes!
Thank you so much to all involved in setting up and running the races today – it was a lovely event and the warmth and enthusiasm of the marshals was simply fantastic. My compliments to LFTC and all the best for a great addition to the League!
Will submit more detailed feedback to the BTF – but this is a really well run friendly and slick event – well done Carl and all those who greeted me as I turned up (1st) in the morning and (probably) finished last in the adult race!
A wonderful day!!!
