John Haine – Chairman Stone Master Marathoners
Wednesday 17th saw the annual quest to find the members who can predict and accurately achieve a running pace. The distance for the annual Chairman’s ‘Bare Wrist Run’ is an accurate 4 miles and each competitor is asked to predict their time. Watches are not allowed!
28 members completed the challenge with the usual high level of accuracy.
Lucy Carter, on her first attempt, was only 11 seconds fast but beaten into first place by Alison Brind in 2 seconds slow. Tom Johnson was 13 seconds slow to win the male prize, narrowly beating Malcolm Mackinnon 14 seconds fast.
I would like to thank everyone for the awesome spread and I wish all the club members a Happy Christmas and don’t forget the training!
