June 17: MMK Women finish fifth in the Greensand Ridge Relay

ByMick Bromilow

The MMK Summer Wine Ladies were the fifth team to finish in the Greensand Ridge Handicap Relay, where teams are given a start time based on the age and gender of each runner and the distance of each leg. For example, Diane Baldwin, as an over 65 woman, was expected to run the first leg in 70 minutes. She actually ran 50:21, beating her handicap by 19:39. The winning team is the team that beats its total handicap time by the biggest margin.

The Women’s Team were almost 50 minutes under their 5:47:00 handicap time thanks to particularly strong runs from Diane, Debra Brent, Wendy Webber and Julie Jones. The team was the third women’s team.

The MMK Originals Team that has competed in the relay each year since it started in 1988, were more consistent with their total handicap, finishing 12 seconds ahead of their 5:41:00 projected time for 24th place out of the 43 teams that finished.
