Clifton

Good conditions contributed to reasonable performances all round. A good showing by the juniors (5) lifted the numbers although Shob was timekeeper with Norm. Craig did a session with Beth C, although it seems as though all the younger juniors are away on holiday.

The 9 minute group seemed more like the start of a marathon with 2 K2s & 4 K1s on the line. Rather than sit out on the edge, I opted for dropping back. It didn't make much difference, because they all seemed to go very wide at Trent Bridge leaving a massive gap up the slack water. Rather than staying in the back & getting involved in clashes I decided to do a bit of work. Harriett managed to drag me away after the power station cross & after that it was "bit & bit" to the finish, although in truth her's were the big bits!

It was great to see JH with Gilly at the club. She looked remarkably fresh so soon after DW. Many of the members who have trained with her & Cat at NKC or the gym, were clearly delighted to be able to congratulate her on their brilliant performance. Let's hope we see more of them in the near future too.
