Report from Handicapper, James Turner:
The winner on handicap, with a second massive PB in a week (and yes I adjusted her handicap after the Honest 10 result!) was Floor Kaars Sijpesteijn whose 19.46 was 14 seconds quicker than her handicap time.
Floor just held off a flying Brad Anderson whose 18.20 was 10 seconds quicker than his recently adjusted handicap (following his PB at the Honest 10!).
And in 3rd, spot on her handicap with 24.30, in her 4th race in a week and with another excellent PB was Marianne Elliott!
First across the line with an impressive 16.04 was the multi-NZ mountain running champion Dougal Thorburn, while Genevieve Coffey was the first female in 18.40.
As always a great way to start the Harriers season. Bring. It. On!”
