The final Coast Path Relay - Saturday 28 June 2014

    

    

Saturday was the Coast Path Relays. While everyone else was having rain and flash floods we were having lots of sunshine and a following wind - what more could you ask for.

We had a good turn out of runners from all the local clubs and had an excellent day of running (and eating - cream teas - fried breakfasts - ice creams - coffee and cakes - no wonder the record was hard to beat!!!)

Our final time was 8 hours 21min 21sec - not as fast as we had anticipated unfortunately.

However we did have two records beaten - Helen Dyke WSX beat the Queen of the Mountains record achieving 16min something (waiting exact seconds time) and Tamsin Moran SOC beat the Queen of the Coast record achieving 45min something (again awaiting confirmation of exact seconds)

We completed the day with an excellent meal at the Banks Arms at Studland.
