After the main competition of the midweek league, where both divisions run their own competitions, comes the Mob Match, a single race where all the clubs race against each other to see who's the best. Good in theory, but some clubs, ours included, never really takes part fully.
It makes sense, though. We spend so much effort trying to get as many runners as possible out for, for want of a better phrase, The Races That Matter, that it's asking a bit much to drag everyone to this one, too. I suppose it's a bit far for our club to travel to, too - we don't often have to go inside the M25 for a run.
A shame, in this case. Trent Park is quite pleasant, especially on such a sunny evening as this was, and the 20 or so of us who took part enjoyed it. I'd woken up that morning with a cold, and wouldn't have gone at all if I hadn't been due to hand out the MWL trophies after the race (a duty not in the job description of treasurer of the midweek league, but fun anyway).
Both the men and ladies came 6th on the night - nothing spectacular. But there was a collection of NHRR trophies from the league to give out:
Steve McKeown: 4th overall
Stuart Smithers: 2nd V60
Don Powell: 1st V70
Paula Adams: 1st overall and 1st V35
Jo Summers: 2nd V35
Astrid McKeown: 3rd V35
And for those who weren't there on the night, those awards will be coming to a club night near you soon!
