Border League relays

Race: Border League final relay, Birkenhead Park (1 mile)
Time/Position: 5.20 (14th team?)
A novel finale for the border league this season. All positions and prizes were already sorted after Hoylake in March, so an informal team relay around Birkenhead Park preceded the presentation at the historic rugby club instead of the usual 7th raee. I went off first for our four man Buckley veteran's team, and was fairly pleased to get round the anticlockwise circuit (like a short version of the usual borders lap) in 5.20. The gentle drag at the end always slows times a little, and did so today. Richard Shearer, Jez and Liam made up the rest of our team, and we all ran fairly similar times although lost out to Wallasey veterans on the night. Possibly 14th team overall, not sure.
