The weather was just about perfect (apart from the intermittent torrential rainfall and chilling wind) as several (well 45) eager undeterred athletes (and Rick!) took to the darkened paths last night for the first Torchlight Tip 5k of the 2013 winter series.
With additional features in place (extra torch and megaphone!) a group of five runners soon opened up a growing gap headed by a startled flying doctor unaccustomed (as most of us are) to this privileged spot.
With Callum manning the much welcomed bridge floodlight and Mark Ashby directing the new high powered 10 watt LED implement, safe passage for all was assured.
“I’m taking it easy tonight” McGrath took victory in a time of 18:48 leaving a trail of bobbing beams in his wake whilst our resident official time master, Mr Rothwell, ensured general fair play!
Judging by the level of entry this event, regardless of conditions, appears considered a great source of competitive enjoyment or just stupidity to those who simply fail to understand the concept!
Don’t miss the Xmas special on 11th December. Same time, same place, worse weather!
Many thanks to all those familiar and new faces who attended.
Regards Andrew
