Age Graded 5km TT on Tuesday 25 October 2022

Well done to all those who took part in the Age Graded 5km TT yesterday evening.  Although it was pitch dark and a bit slippy underfoot with all the fallen leaves, it proved to be a great success and hopefully we will continue to offer this format in future group TTs (including longer distances and in daylight) and for individuals who would like to record their age graded % and ranking.

A thanks to Pete Hall who took the lonely job of standing at the turn point at Cardrona Bridge, and to Gillian who recorded the finishing times.

Congratulations to Dean Carr as the overall winner with a superb grading of 74.68%. This puts him top of the Club Age graded rankings for 5km and posts a % for the rest of us to chase!

Overall the results were excellent with over 60% gradings for all 7 runners, and in particular Tim who clearly illustrated the levelling effect that age grading has.

I believe that age grading has a place in our Club and look forward to more events such this.
