North West Sprint Champions 2017!
Here are initial results from todays prologue and final spint races at Skelmersdale. Hope to see you all again to do it again tomorrow at Bolton School, followed by Horwich Festival of Racing.
(winsplits gives good course splits comparison – as opposed to by age class)
Results showing ranking points will be uploaded to the BOF website early this week, once we have dealt with any required corrections.
Planners Comments
Time spent planning the NW Sprint Champs came to a scorching head today, so I hope you enjoyed the weather; there were certainly some red faces at the finish! While the logistics of preparing the Prologue and Final on adjacent areas limited my chance of interaction with competitors, I was pleased to receive some positive feedback from those I did spend a moment with. It was clear that different people had coped, or not, differently with some of the route choice and other Sprint concentration challenges I had tried to set.
The opportunity arising from use of a brand new area will always add unknown factors and there were perhaps some we did not anticipate; these will be reviewed to learn for the future.
My thanks are due greatly to Stephen, George and all the SELOC and local volunteer helpers without whom the event today would not have been possible. Thank you!
