L'Etape du SHI was intended to be a wind down for anyone who still had the legs to run. And so it proved!
3 gaffled SHI legs were run with all three team members starting at the same time - like a Harris Relay.
2 teams ran the Long course (5.5k identical to the Men's SHI courses) competitively and 17 'others' ran, jogged or walked the Short courses (4.8k identical to the Women's SHI courses). There were fast competitive times and leisurly not so fast times.
First on the Long course, the team comprising Pavel Prochazka BKO, Dan Safka DRONGO and Ben Stevens AIRE had a combined time of 139:22 (SHI winners 107:32). Highly competitive with many other SHI teams.
Second were, the team comprising Alastair McKenzie CLOK, Michael Muggeridge HAVOC and Dave Marr OD had a combined time of 198:56
The Short course (4.5k identical to the SHI WOmen's course) appealed to the slower brigade with leg times ranging from 51:40 thrrough to 91:14.
Adding the 3 fastest times together as a team the winners of the Short course would have been Anne Straub OD, Steve Wilson SELOC and Cath Wilson SELOC in a combined time of 161:12 (compares to SHI winners time of 126:33).
Congratulations to everyone who completed the course. Now you know what the experts did!

This is an informal opportunity for everyone to run one of the SHI Relay courses. Compare yourselves to the best!
If you run as a team of 3, you will all run concurrently and your team time is the sum of your 3 individual leg times.
The L'Etape Relay courses are gaffled so that each team runs all legs, but no two competitors and no two teams run the same set of legs.
Teams will manually calculate their total time and display them on the results washing-line.
If you run individually you will run one of the gaffled legs of the SHI courses. You will be timed. Scratch teams may be formed on the Start line or retrospectively!
