Congratulations to Rhys and Judith on their victories yesterday at #4 Teenager with Altitude – with Rhys picking up the first outright victory of the league on his way to a beer festival somewhere. Judith and Spyke appear to have adopted a team-tag approach to the league, which may work well enough for the individual league, but is unlikely to lead to many car team prizes. We think Lewis has claimed his second car team prize, following a steward’s enquiry which has determined that the calculation will rest on runners journeying up to the event in a vehicle, regardless of the means by which individual runners depart the event subsequently. If you want a rationale, well it boils down to the fact that the league organiser doesn’t trust Mr Kay not to bribe high ranking athletes to depart in his vehicle, on the promise of a pint or night out in Kendal, in order to boost his collective points score.
Spyke, it is alleged, wasn’t up to the rigours of #4 (he had “a bit of a
cold”), so was taking it gently by running the BG over two days instead
… my displeasure at such lukewarm commitment to the league is,
however, entirely outweighed by my delight in thereby being able to
reclaim top spot for at least another week or so.
