Rather more ERRs on the entry list than there were on the course, for various reasons, but well done to all those who enjoyed pretty near perfect conditions in 'The Vale'. Well done to the Kates for winning their categories, and for setting new club records for their categories, as well as Kate A's PB. The Club Championship tables have now been updated. Neil and Nadine weren't wearing club colours so the jobsworth rule is applied, i.e. no Club Champs points. Any jokers played?

A glorious day for the always challenging Banbury 15 miles. Well done to Ros for winning her category, as well as Kate and, er, me for being placed in ours, although they didn't give out prizes that far down. No jokers that I know of, and the club champs scores have now been updated.

Well done and thank you to the select few ERR folk who made it to Henley for the final round of the season. A particular well done to Zachary Green for winning the U9s category over the season, as well as Kate Allred, whose LV45 victory on the day propelled her to 2nd in the season's overall standings, and, er, me for a 3rd place in the season's MV50 standings. Overall, the ERR Ladies A team finished 7th in Division 1 for the season, so hopefully good enough to stay there for next season, while the ERR men's A team were 4th in Division 2, and won't be going anywhere. Anyway, here are the ERR results on the day:

Here are the final standings, after the extra week on March 26th. For reasons of space, only people's best times are shown, but the more detailed results are available if you're interested. If your time isn't there, please let me know, although you could help matters considerably by updating your parkrun profile to include 'Eynsham Roadrunners' as your club. That way your result will show in the weekly consolidated club results.

Fun, despite the mud, hills and the fog which added to the ever-present threat of getting lost. Anyway, well done to Kates A and W for their category wins, and to Pete and, er, me for their 2nd places, thereby earning slightly inferior christmas puddings. Remember that jokers were played here by default, if not played earlier in the season. The final Club Champs scores have now been updated, so you can see how you fared in this longest of competitions.

Here are the final scores after round 4. I would just like to add a case for the defence, in that any handicap competition depends not only on your performances this year, but how you were doing when the handicaps were set, and 2 years ago I was rubbish. Anyway, I'm highly unlikely to win it again.

Explanatory Blurb: Points are awarded to show the person who has improved the most in percentage terms against their 'base' pace, so 50 are awarded to the most improved, then down from there to the least improved person on the day. Base pace is calculated via a weighted average of a runner's pace achieved in the 2019/20 season, with the weights reflecting the relative difficulty of the courses involved. If you didn't run in 2019/20 then an arbitrary base figure is assigned, but the usual disclaimer applies in that you are unlikely to win in these circumstances, as it's likely to mean you were given a false base figure. As ever, think of it as setting a mark for next year.  ...

Welcome back to Cirencester - cold, muddy, hilly. In fact, everything you could want from a cross country venue. Beset by injuries and a random set of late withdrawals, ERR just about managed 2 teams for the men's and women's competitions. There were excellent debuts from Bradley and Anya, and another day, another win for young Zachary and another first in category for Liz. On the day, ERR men were 5th in Division 2, and the ERR women were 9th in Division 1. Season standings to follow when we know them.

Good to be back in (or just outside) the tent after a couple of years, and good to see so many newcomers to ERR colours.
