Organiser's
Comments
The event was organised with the expectation
of about 160 runners participating but the actual number was only 77.
Given the awful weather forecast and the warning to avoid unnecessary
travel on the day we were pleasantly surprised by the number that did
turn out and their enthusiasm is a credit to our sport, although the
low temperatures, and snow showers followed by rain unfortunately took
away the enjoyment for many.
As I have now come to expect sufficient Suffoc club members volunteered
to help and all the tasks were more than adequately covered making my
role as organiser easy to fulfil. Also the club is very fortunate that
we always receive support and assistance from the Rendlesham Forest office
of the Forestry Commission and this year was no exception.
Apart from the weather no problems arose apart from one runner on the Blue
course who sustained a serious and painful arm injury which required hospital
treatment. Fortunately, two other competitors immediately went to his aid,
gave immediate assistance and helped the injured runner get back to safety. |
Planner's
Comments
A gap of 19 months between planning is a little long and the skills picked
up first time were a bit hazy. Thanks to controller Paul for providing
sound advice and ensuring I moved from a dodgy yellow & green to something
a lot better. His dedication to detail and travelling all the way from
deepest Essex in poor conditions was much appreciated. Tangham Forest is
relatively large and I drifted wide and to the top and bottom of the map
to get to interesting features. This did mean I had a few too many controls
and very many, many thanks to the kind people who helped me collect them
at the end of wet day – even if that was the only time we saw the sun.
The dense growth of gorse in places made some bits of the forest unusable.
Following the replanting after the 1987 storm that so devastated the forest
much is still young and quite a fight. Well done to the competitors, especially
on the longer courses that hammered their way through the forest between
controls - at least it kept some of the snow off you! Thanks to Paul Lowe
for the help with the technical bits and especially to Rob Coulter who
is a marvellous Organiser to work with and also helped putting out and
collecting controls. Thanks to all Club members for playing a part and
I wish Clive Wilkinson a full recovery from his dislocated elbow after
he showed how desperate some people are to win the East Anglian League! |
Controller's
Comments
The thorough and efficient preparations by the planner
and organiser meant
that the event ran smoothly despite the inclement winter weather. Simon
prepared good courses to BOF standards that offered both physical and
technical challenges whilst minimising simple path running. Most
competitors appreciated the challenge, though bracken/brashings and the
snowy conditions slowed the par times. Rob had plenty of willing
helpers who did their bit
on a cold day. Lastly I hope that Clive Wilkinson makes a speedy
recovery
from his accident near the Finish. |
