5k Scratch 2019 - Ravens Runners London

21 November 2019

A  small but keen group of Ravens turned out today on a chilly but clear  day. They ran to see Phil Priest marshalling at the turnaround in his  usual vest, laugh  at him shivering, and run back again. And in some good times too. First  home again was Jon Pontin running about 10 seconds quicker than last  month. Results are as follows:

 

Pos  #    Name               Time

1    188  Jonathan Pontin     17;21

2    187  Joshua Bapoo        18;10

3    184  Denzil DeBie        19;33

Eleven Ravens took to the busy canals in unseasonably warm February sunshine. We had one faller and one follow a more scenic route but all returned more or less in one piece. Today’s winner was John Crawley who will clearly be the focus of the handicapper when that restarts later this year. Provisional results are as follows:
