Race 6 in the Cheshire GP
It was another dominating performance by the Wilmslow ladies with Diane winning against quality opposition and taking another big chunk off her club records in the process. Sharon had a great run breaking the FV40 club record (dating from 2001) by 30s. Janine wasn't far behind coming in close to 40 minutes. Emma Lucas made a fine debut.
The leading men looked a bit sluggish in comparison but we were taking the brunt of the headwind … Damian held on well for the win despite carrying a painful ankle. No doubt driven on by the fast finishing Diane, the mens team packed in well around 36 mins. But did we do enough to hold off South Cheshire? I think that we've made a small overall gain that might leave us a chance to finish the job at Congleton.
It's great to see Mick Fairs back racing and he polished his recent MV65 record with another 5s improvement.
And we were all back in village hall eating Brownie cakes before the rains came.
