BRR Relay Race, Guiting Power - 2nd January 2023
On a bright bank holiday morning ten teams of four runners each, gathered for the Clubs annual relay race, supported by Guiting Manor Farm, Guiting Power. We were again joined by members from North Cotswold Tri & Run, who always bring depth of racing experience whilst maintaining the social element of the event.
Unsurprising, the winning team was “Team Walmsley”, running in Team GB colours, consisting of Dennis and Lucy Walmsley, Kate Krzywiec, and our own Allie Quinn, with an aggregate time of 2:01:50. Allie was still wearing her GB top on Wednesday morning! Lucy was also fastest woman of the event, finishing in 27:24.
Chris Nesbitt of "Choc Oranges" ran the fastest leg for a man in a brilliant 25:23; congratulations to him.
It was good to see Mike Smith returning to form, achieving 27:11 over the tough course.
The “Elves”, appropriately running in green, were the team finishing closest to their estimated time, with Alex having a fine run finishing in a stunning 27:52.
