Results for Harewood

.

"The unusual results for Saturday at Harewood arose because of the weather conditions. It was clear that practice in the morning was going to be wet and rain was forecast to continue in the afternoon. However, half the competitors had previous personal best times, set in the dry, and the other half had not been to Harewood before. If we had proceeded as normal the competitors with previous PBs would in all likelihood have been severely disadvantaged. After discussion with all the competitors it was decided to adopt an exceptional amendment to the PB Cup rules, which was to treat everybody as if they had no previous PB at Harewood. This solution was considered to be the best way to ensure a fair competition. Sods law being what it is, the weather was mainly dry in the afternoon and everyone exceeded the 1.5% improvement on their target time. Hence everyone finished in 1st place!

.

It is not possible to have rules which deal with all possible combinations of weather conditions. This is made even more complicated by NHSC being a new club using some venues at which competitors do not have PBs. Your Committee will however review the PB Cup rules at its next meeting and consider if amendments to the rules need to be made to deal with weather related issues."

"Sandown update - This event has unfortunately had to be cancelled because the main sponsor pulled out. The organisers tried everything possible to find replacement funds, but were ultimately unsuccessful for 2025. They hope the event will be back in 2026."
