The fantastic Sue Ward and Rachel Partridge organised some lovely weather for the final race of the BvH Tour and the Pyjama Pursuit route was put to use for another slightly undulating race, but thankfully this one was over more quickly as everyone was ready to wrap up a tough but enjoyable week of running.
The after-party at Rowheath Pavilion was a great occasion with everyone comparing their notes, splits and niggles over a beer or two and some great food from Chris Hughes and team. Recover well now Tealsters!
Huge congratulations to the BvH Tour Champions Mat Pollard and Lorna Al-Ani, all of the age category winners and everyone who completed the full Tour. Thanks again to all the marshals and helpers this week; the Tour could not happen without you!
