A good night for a race with April and Jo making a race out of it with big personal bests (150 seconds) and finishing 1 and 2. Phil Nelson held off Noel and Richard to gain the minor placings, just outside their best. Jethro managed to get a personal best but had a late start so was outside the placings. We also welcomed back Terry for his first race of the season.
