Results for Joe Percy Wednesday 23rd June 2004

RESULTS Well, not quite the weather we were hoping for, more like one of those wintry cross country days that JWP loved so much. It seemed to me that everything went well… even the showers, once I’d switched the pump on – unless, of course, you were a female competitor and didn’t fancy sharing the showers – unfortunately I don’t think there’s a lot that can be done about it since the steady demise of chivalry set in! Thank must be offered again to Thurstonland Cricket Club for their hospitality and to the Longwood refreshment team, supported so enthusiastically by Sheila… where were the rest of Spenborough? This was almost a record turn-out for the current course, 147 finished the race in 2001. From the first event in 1993, the stats are as follows with the number of women finishers included given in brackets:
129 [11]; 184 [36]; 162 [22]; 173 [26]; 155 [24]; 110*[18]; 62*[6]; 78** [7]; 147 [22]; 136*[19]; 120 [34]; 146 [20]

Large team entries from Stainland, Holmfirth, Halifax and Meltham dominated the results this year. In terms of individual performances we saw a first win here for Andy Whitworth and for Meltham; his was a fine solo run in difficult conditions, well done Andy. Bridget Coomber, Monique Holinshead and Dianne Waite looked to have had a good battle to be first woman… Bridget recorded her first ‘first’ and Denby Dale’s first ‘first’ here. Well done Bridget. Well done Brian Boothroydtoo - for being the ‘old one’! Keep it up! Juniors weren’t identified on paper, so no record kept. Another ‘first’ this year was the tight finish between the first two teams… only one point between them… who could have made the difference and taken the JP10K trophy to Halifax again instead of Holmfirth? A close match with opportunities to scoreall along the line… just one place would have done it!

Again, thanksgo to all those who ran this year, officiated, marshalled so visibly, donated grub or sorted it all out… you made this a very enjoyable event. We hope to see you all [and more] next summer, good running until then!

If you have any thoughts or suggestions about the race please pass them on….
