CSC @ Timble
Bad news: pipped at the post; good news…..
Despite a top turnout, AIRE were just beaten by SYO in the CSC qualifying round at Timble. We scored 2368 against SYO's 2425. We were well clear of WCOC, CLOK and EBOR. Peter H was our only course winner, but we had many top tens. We will probably make the final….
CSC rules say that if the qualifier winner finished in the top 3 in the final in the previous year, the second placed team also goes through. SYO were third last year, so I think we make the final.
Top AIRE results were:
Brown: Ben and George Stevens 4th and 5th
Short Brown: Neil Conway and Adrian Hall 3rd and 4th
Blue Women: Laura King 5th, Anne Maguire 10th
Green Men: Peter Haines, Peter Jones, Howard Sawyer 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Vet Short Green: Sue Stevens 4th
Junior Men: Matthew Hall 7th
Junior Women: Lucy Haines 2nd
Well done to everyone who ran. Book the final now: 16th October, Tankersley (Sheffield)

Green 1-3
Map shows the challenges of Timble: leg 1 much quicker by the paths, but the map doesn't tell you.
1-2 very tough going up hill, and clearing was one of many in the green (I thought)
2-3 good route choice and surprisingly runnable.
