It think this is the 3rd time
that I’m aware we have chosen the Coniston 14 as a Club Championship Race, and
to be honest it could be one every year for me. This is the 33rd
year of its running, bringing in much needed funds for the local community.
Pretty much perfect conditions greeted an impressive host of Sadd’s for this
our 2nd Club Counter, the ladies once again making a fair proportion
of our team. As routes go, you cannot get much more in the way of stunning
views, as the race follows the Lake to the south, undulating as it goes, the
return route by the quieter side of the Lake has a few more undulations just
when you thought you were nearly home. A great Saddleworth Support contingent
were in evidence and much appreciated by our twenty-odd team. Coniston Old Man
winks at you for ages as you near the finish, with a run round the top end of
the Lakes going on longer than it should.
First back (awaiting a Stewards Enquiry ;-)
was late entry Shaun Willis, having a storming run placed in 16th
place in this top quality field in 1.28. Chambers, Platt and Gladwin all coming
in around 1.37/1.38 made up a strong quartet. (Jon Platt despite this amazing
run was only 2nd V65 by 6 minutes!!)
The ladies had a storming result, finishing
2nd overall with Helena, Alice, Tanya and Sandrine all running superbly.
