Hi everybody.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all those involved in the Leeds Country Way event yesterday.
Once again it was a fantastic day out, I was doing leg 6 this year which meant I was able to get round all the handover points and it was great to see to see quite a lot of the action unfold, As always there will be tales of outstanding run's, near misses, and of course unfortunate errors that will no doubt provide us with much banter over the next few days.
I am very proud of
all our runners achievements yesterday, you all displayed team spirit and sportsmanship throughout, it was good to see you helping each other and I know that Lorretta ran through the pain barrier to complete her run. Looking at some of the facebook comments it also sounds like Joy took a bit of a tumble so hope you are both ok and that you have not been put off taking part in these events.
I am afraid I don't have any official results for you yet. I know the A team finished 4th and that we picked up a couple of awards for fastest runners on 2 of the legs. These were Leg 2 where Karen Pickles and David Coleman won the fasted mixed pairing (by a good 29 minutes I believe). Also on Leg 6 where Gary Bailey and Darren Burnley proved to be the fastest pairing (I think they knocked that off in about an hour which is some going).
All in all a great day once again many thanks.
