Nonsuch Park 4 x 2.2 miles Relay

With only twentyfive minutes to go before the start Roger Alsop was lost in another part of the Park, Paul Freary was still on the M25, Warren Lynch was on a bike somewhere between Kingston and Cheam and James Browne had yet to arrive. Supporters John Jeffery and Alan Black were looking decidedly nervous as the Team Manager eyed them up with a view to their doing two legs each – but it all came together and in the end we recorded our sixth consecutive win in the event.

Roger lost a few seconds deciding which way to go on the unmarked course while James had taken the precaution of taking a map with him. Stage three saw Paul Freary going to number three on the all-time list and he celebrated by running stage four as well – to complete the Millenium Group Team that included Thames H&H Team Manager Robin Dickson and South London’s Stuart Major.

1 Belgrave H 43:33 (R.Alsop 10:45; J.Browne 10:51; P.Freary 10:11; W.Lynch 11:46); 2 Epsom & Ewell H 46:32; 3 Sutton Runners 47:43; 49 teams finished. Running for other teams: P.Freary 11:42; Don Anderson 12:37.

Fastest: 1 P.Freary 10:11; 2 S.Major (Millennium/SLH) 10:38; 3 R.Alsop 10:45; 4 J.Browne 10:51
