The SROC team of Andy Quickfall, Martyn Roome and Quentin Harding took a
dramatic victory in the Veteran Men Class at the JK in Berkshire on Easter
Monday. Andy led them off with an excellent 4th, with Martyn on 2nd leg taking
3rd place on the run in. So it was down to Quentin to catch the leaders, which
he duly did at the last control, overtaking Steve Webb of AIRE on the sprint out
of that control – and after that Usain Bolt would not have caught him!
It turned out that AIRE had, in fact, been disqualified by their 2nd leg
runner mispunching, so Quentin could have taken it easy! SROC retained the
trophy in fact, having won it in Scotland last year.
In the picture, Andy had already left, for a date with Harry Potter
apparently!
There were several other good results on the day, including the Womens Open
team of Zoe and Katrin Harding and Heather Gardner taking a fine 7th
place.
