Spring 2003 Racing Successes continue 2003 has already seen a series of very good results combined with a much larger turnout at races, especially those outside of the Peak. Helped in part by encouragement from Mark Hayman, Dave Tait and others, there have been a string of good results with victories already for Tim Austin, Phil & Helen Winskill, Karen Davison and Helen Thorburn. Tim and Phil already have at least 5 victories between them in open races this year. This month the Championship races start with one on home soil at Lads Leap, Crowden on the 16th. A good chance for individual and team championship points. Dave Tait's car share web page (accessible from the DPFR homepage) has played it's part in encouraging people not only to run, but to share transport. For those online, have a look to see what races the racers are aiming for and maybe join them to show those brown vests off (preferably the back) to the rest of the country! Meanwhile in one of the Peak's annual classics, the Derwent Watershed, there was another DPFR victory with Al Ward, Marcus Scotney and Simon Bourne part of the winning quartet. First complete DPFR team went to "Three Blokes with Sweaty Cox" comprising Jim Fulton, Tom Westgate, Kev Saville & Phil Cox. The racing year had got off to a good start from the very first morning. Tim Austin started the New year in fine style by breaking the course record for the 3 mile "Giant's Tooth" race at Ogden near Halifax by 1 minute. Meanwhile Dave Tait's new race on Eyam Moor attracted a good field with victory going to Mike Robinson and first woman to Anna Forrester. Round Rotherham successes Earlier, as 2002 draw to an end, there was success for Dark Peakers in the Round Rotherham individual and relay events. DPFR won first mixed team in the relay over the 50 mile course. Just 35 minutes behind them was Mick Robinson who ran all 50 miles himself! Al Cory-Wright 2 n d in New Zealand Classic And exiled Dark Peakers are flourishing too. Al Cory Wright had another excellent performance in this year's New Zealand Coast to Coast. This 240km (ish) run-bikerun-bike-kayak-bike event is the premier challenge event in New Zealand and attracts a large and international field. Al finished 2 nd just 13 minutes down after 12 hours of competition (and just 30 seconds ahead of 3 rd !). Read of other NZ races on page 22.
