This is Hazel’s first marathon, and though it’s tough enough for any of us, Hazel has the additional challenge of being blind… and, well, it just leaves many of us speechless. But Hazel loves a challenge and has the ability and the grit to give it her best try.

Hazel has plans for fundraising but every little helps! UPDATE
Hazel is looking for as many volunteers as possible to help with the bag pack at ASDA on Sat 27 Mar. She has a 10am – 4pm session so if anyone is willing to help with either 10 – 1 or 1 – 4 (or even a couple of hours) that would be great. You can contact her through Anne or any of the Committee members. Thanks.
Yes, Anita was top Tortoise with Anne and Natalie not far behind.
The gents were well out with Paul being closest. Even had I given Tim a full minute credit for wearing the santa suit, it wouldn’t have won him anything
The wooden spoon was taken by Alastair but it has to be added that his performance represented the best improvement of all.
Moira took the biscuit (well.. Cadbury’s Double Decker) for guessing correctly that Anita was the winner.
All results on the Results Page (amazingly enough) as well as the Forum.
20 Tortoises contested the annual Xmas handicap ‘race’.
As usual, all runners estimated their time and recorded it on an envelope into which he/she deposited their watch.
The idea is that the winner will be the runner who completes the 4k in a time that is the closest to that that he/she has recorded (it’s a bit more complicated than that due to differences being taken as a percentage of the estimate – but you get the idea)
The first person back was Ian McNee – but did he win?
I can reveal that the winner was close but that no one was spot on. There is also a wooden spoon which I’d love to hand over to Ian.
This entry will be edited next weekend with the outcome (as a clue to the winner – It wasn’t me!).
