Great news from the JK in South Wales
The team of 16 Moravians who travelled to South Wales over the Easter Weekend notched up 6 podium places in all, followed by a great relay result on Monday. It was a warm and sunny weekend and everyone seemed to have a great time. It was really good to be able to meet up as a club, clustered round the Moravian banner at long last.
The Sprint event on Friday produced two medallists, Isobel (1st) and Finlay (3rd), plus two top ten finishes, Morag 7th and Andrew 10th. The wooden spoon was awarded to - Eddie, who managed to miss out four controls in two separate groups. He also missed out control 1 then had to return to it after punching 2. He's had better days.
Days 2 and 3 results were added together to produce overall results for the JK title. More podium places were won here. There were two gold medals for Finlay and Eddie, a silver for Isobel, a bronze for Anna, and three top ten places, Kate 6th, and Sophie and Andrew both 8th. We had another spectacular wooden spoon here, this time going to Rob on day 2. Following his splits on the course results he manage to plummet from 1st to 112th over the course of one control. Can anyone else beat that?! He retrieved the situation on day 3 by finishing 6th.
Most of the team had to sadly return north before the relays and it was left to the retired folk to uphold the honour of the club, and uphold it they did! Running in a class which consisted mainly of much younger folk they managed to finish in 4th place out of 41 teams, just a minute off a podium place. Liz and I did our best by drinking coffee and clapping everyone in to the finish. Rob, Eddie and Andrew all run well and enjoyed running round a military base and surrounding woodland.
