Another win for Cal Partington (ML)

The picture of Gareth Watt highlights the beauty of the Manx countryside that few of the runners appreciate after an energy sapping hill climb (ML)

 Rose Hooton and Alan Pilling have run in nearly every race on the Crossags course so they have seen all weather. (ML)

THANKS TO GRAHAM DAVIES FOR THE RESULTS

 

Hair in Brambles shocker!   By Steve Partington

On the opening lap of the Island League XC at Crossags Farm on Sunday, first-time entrant Nicola Sherrard from Sulby was forced to stop when her hair became tangled in brambles!

However,  help was at hand, as two of the men running behind her stopped and managed to get her free. Nicola was very grateful that they stopped but has no idea who they were.

"I had poor grips on my shoes and had just lost control on a steep downhill section. These two guys had already passed me, but I flew past them again as we headed to the turn through a gate. They must have thought I was mad anyway, but then I got my hair caught and I couldn¹t move. They were very good to stop and help me."

"I have raced once before on this course, and on that occasion I made a bit of a fool of myself when I came across sheep in one of the fields. I¹m not keen on sheep and I got a bit loud trying to shoo them away. One of the men who stopped to free my hair today was running alongside me in that race too, and when he saw me on the startline today he said 'Oh no - not you again.' "

So, the question is, who were the running hairdressers? Were you one of those knights in muddy armour? If so, stand up and accept the applause.

Hold on tight! Nicola Sherrard holds onto her hair! (Pic by Murray Lambden)

Steve Callaghan (above), who is also featured in a great shot on the back page of the Isle of Man Courier, has identified himself as the mystery hair dresser (see forum).  He was well prepared with the hat to ensure that he did not have the same problem! ML

 

 "Is Mike Garrett trying the 'Craine' move from Karate Kid to get over the style?" asks Phil Mackie!
