Equipment Orders -

Live results were again available during the event and immediately afterwards at Race Results  We should now be able to post live for all MLS events.  Race Results also includes a full set of splits for all courses which removes the need to post them here, but I will put an RG link up as well.

 Results are at https://raceresults.uk/live/5931/ or via race-results.info.   

Today was also the memorial event for our friend Colin Holcombe, who for years was the MLS Sec.

Sadly Colin suffered a heart attack at the MLS event in Feb 2024 from which we thought he was recovering, but then his heart failed again and we lost him.  So the New Forest event every February will be known as the "Holcombe Hobbler" and the winning vet on Light Green will win the Holcombe Cup. This year it is Col(Retd) Lucy Giles who just edged out Colin Dickson. Well done Lucy!

Today is also about thanking the support team at a very wet and windy Fritham. Thank you to Mike and Woo for planning and controlling and encouraging us all to get into the mud in places. Colin D said its been a while since I wore a windproof and gloves and was very glad that I did.

To the collectors, thank you so much for going out in that downpour with Colin H, Paul O, Lisa J and Gerry A who had all the distance controls.

IF THE PERSON WHO LEFT BEHIND THEIR RUNNING SHOES CARES TO EMAIL ME I CAN BRING THEM ALONG TO A FUTURE EVENT. BLACK & WHITE SIZE 10.5.

For next week we will just role over on onto Barossa North where we have Nev and Trish to tease a few route choices out of us.
