JK2008 - What a weekend

Wow, what a weekend – sunshine, gales, hail, sleet, snow, mud, exhaustion and some fun too! Well done to everyone who took part in JK2008. Read on for a summary of SO results.

Loads of SO members helped across the 4 days, some relinquished their runs at the expense of making sure things ran smoothly and others ran well enough to obtain podium positions – some managed both. Everyone did well just to finish in the conditions!
