H&StL CC Pevensey 10 results Wednesday 10 July

Times and positions were impacted for some by the erection of traffic lights after the event had started …….  Many thanks to Ollie's Mum Angela for stepping in and taking over the start timekeeper duties with Stuart Crabb pushing off, hopefully every week from now on!

Simon Newell (24:54) won the event after his third place (*) last week with Joe Jenner (25:03) getting faster and just taking second place now his exams are over.  Joe Kingsman and Stuart Hodd tied (25:05) for third place with Malcolm Daly (25:06) fifth, there just being four seconds between the four riders, with Simon only 9 seconds clear of them!

Ollie Chapman (27:00) set an excellent PB by over a minute bettering his PB set on Saturday which was a PB by two minutes from two weeks earlier, at this rate he will be sub 24 minutes in a month ……..!!!!!

(*) Last week's time for Simon Newell was wrong - his finish position not his start position had been subtracted from the stop watch time and I had not realised until after this week's event when wondering why Simon had gone so much quicker than last week.  He had in fact gone slower than the correct time of 24:28 when he came in ahead of Trevor Deeble (missing in France watching the Tour for a few days, as other members are) but a fraction behind Stuart Hodd.  Sometimes there are simple maths errors which are readily resolved if the time keeper is queried when they have finished their business.  But one query this week did not stand! If all else fails the time keeper is always right……..
