Big Foot Sprints IX - Darks Common

Dave Meyer had a comfortable win in Big Foot Sprints IX, beating Peter Preston. Third place came down to a sprint with Robbie Preston overhauling a flagging Ben Rattray just before the finish line.

In the women's race Yelena Fairfax took out the big chocolate, with last year's winner Carol Osborne second. Despite a few minutes deficeit after the first leg, Carol still had Yelena in her sights as they turned for the finish, but in the end Yelena won comfortably. Both were lucky that last year's runner up, Julie Gooding had such a poor first run. The fastest female on the second leg, she easily ran down Alexa Troedson to grab third and looks to be a future winner.

Top work by organisers Richard and Miranda, with help from controller Stix. Thanks guys.
