Narrow win for Mick Le Sauvage
Mick Le Sauvage (Pictured in race few years ago) claimed a narrow win in the Sarnia Walking Clubs Fun Event over six laps at Delancey Park. The time difference between his laps, with stops between each effort, was only seven seconds, one better than Terry Bates, closely followed by Carol Bates another second afterwards. There can be no bragging rights in the Le Noury family as Kevin, Jayne and Stuart all finished together in fourth place with a twelve seconds time difference.
The next walk is on Sunday November 15th. It is the third race in the Bob Wright Handicap Series. The distance is 5 kilometres starting at 9.30 am. The venue is Les Amarreurs, Vale. Details from Jayne Le Noury, Tel 246865.

Almost 27 years ago to the day. Rob Elliott (Guernsey 345) at the 1982 Commonwealth Games 30 kms walk in Brisbane, Australia. The highlight of his walking career. Mike Parker 497 and Kevin Taylor 508 (New Zealand) Andrew Jachno 48(?) and Willi Sawall 71 (Australia).
Guernsey walker Carl Thomson made the short trip across the water to racewalk the Jersey Marathon on Sunday September 27th. He finished in 191st overall position in a time of 4.18.09. He went through the half way point in two hours before slowing. He commented the race had been a good workout. (Photo from 2009 Church walk in Guernsey)
