There were 30 runners at Sutton 6 (25 last year) and this has really spiced up the league. It seamed more on the day so hope I haven’t missed anyone! We now have 28 runners who have completed the minimum 7 and a further 12 can upset the current rankings. 37 runners completed the minimum 6 last year, will we match this? (Click link "Summer Series 2006" on the left hand side of this page, to see the latest rankings).
The event on Sunday was made all the more interesting by 4 quality runners, Malcolm, Ray, Bill & Sally G all turning up none of whom can complete the series. With Mike watching from the sidelines 50 points was however up for grabs. A battle ensued between Malcolm, Rob & Stuart concluding with only 3 seconds separating them all! The result however probably confirms that Rob will just steal ahead of Stuart again this year, but with 2 races to go it is not a foregone conclusion.
Myself and Jeff are now on level pegging but Jeff with a lower Best(7) should be odds on favourite to take the glory.
It is very close between Peter, Mike & Jane only 3 points separating them and similarly Peter, Don & Gareth.
In the Ladies League, Jane will be this years Champion but Nicky has 1 more race to do if she wants to grab the silver position. It will also be very close between Penny & Julie.
Langley 7 is now the confirmed final race, but of course we still have the penultimate race of this years Summer Series, the Macclesfield Half Marathon, this weekend.
