Bennetswoof by Fitz (and Marta)

Marta and Fitz have traditionally set the Monday Night Training Group's Long Course each year - typically asking participants to compete for an extra 10-15 minutes or so. As it turned out, the conditions were perfect for running and the extra few minutes was appreciated by most (although, I could have done with another 5....). The evening was made even more entertaining by the start location - Marta's mother Elizabeth had kindly let us start at her hourse and provided hot drinks after the event.

The event was a Hageby - multiple loops using overlapping areas on the same map - an excellent use of a pretty small area. Several runners noted the feeling of Deja Vu - particularly if you did the West and Central maps first and second. In spite of this feeling that you'd been here already, the format kept the pressure on as you wanted to leave as much time as possible for the last map.

On Monday night we all agreed
We'd had fun being Hageby'd
36 controls were skilfully placed
and two extra maps that were replaced
With 15 minutes extra time
and running conditions - quite sublime.

As time drew short, Geoff was misplaced
Returning home 4 minutes late
It seems only fair he suffers his fate
12 points down - his run disgraced.

...and all the way from the alternative universe,

'tis said that those who seek,
the deeper truth on those so fleet,
may find that one atop the heap,
has snuck one past,
the scorers cast !

(This caused me to re-examine the top scorers -
and I subsequently made the changes in RED below).
