Photographs from the Hungarton 7 Wednesday 9th July 2003

Hungarton saw the biggest turnout of Striders so far. Over twenty of us arrived to run on a hot and humid evening. The race started at 7.15pm but you could have mistaken it for being much earlier due to the temperature. One of the toughest courses on the LRRL summer calendar (second only overall to Desford's own winter league 10k) it was never going to be easy, but the conditions made it very challenging and not a day for PB's (unless like me, it was your first time)! With good performances all round, according to the press, Striders took the third place team - well done all!

Instead of the usual photos of people running, we thought it would make a change to get some 'befores' and 'afters in the pub'. Good plan except we were so keen on getting the beers and food down our necks, we totally forgot the 'after' shots! Ah well, there's always the next race! In the meantime, here are a few mixed photos from that evening

Desford Striders Riders, the unofficial cycling branch of the club. Many thanks to Derek, Mike and Pete for their support during the race. At most of the races we often have a small group of supporters either in cars, cycling or on foot. Their encouragement is always appreciated (as is any offer of drinks when we get to the pub)!
