Thirsk and Sowerby Harriers

Peter Wilkin demonstrated the versatility of Harriers when he entered the Three Peaks Cyclo Cross event which covers 38 miles and involves climbs of 4500 feet, often carrying one's cycle! Peter finished in an excellent 13th place out of 245 finishers in a time of 3h 20min. He was first Senior Vet, in a course record time for Senior Vets, and was only 30 seconds behind the first Vet.

At a less arduous level, three members entered the Snape 10k, which was in fact 10.4k! There were only 53 finishers, which is a pity for such an attractive fixture, and Ian Codling finished in 29th place in 50.27 minutes, Nicola Thorpe 30th in 50.50, and Fiona Wilson 32nd in 52.28.

The end of season presentations have taken place for the Black Sheep series of races. Chris McAleenan, Fiona Wilson, Jo Fambely and Ian Codling won silver plaques for completing four out of six races, Nicola Thorpe got gold for completing all six races, Kaye Mechie won third prize in the O/45 category and Marian Codling first prize in the O/60 category. A buffet supper followed the presentations.
