Race Report – Latton Woods
Race Report
The sun was shining however the sodden ground made for muddy paths and on the day, the quickest route was often directly through the forest. On the Blue (6km) course, Jonathan Albon (CHIG, M21) recovered from a 4 minute error on Control 2 to have the fastest splits for 11 of the remaining legs and he held the lead from Control 10 right to the end, beating Tom Dobra (CUOC, M21) into second place by a 2 minute margin. Sue Carter (CHIG) was the leading female on the Blue course.
On Green, Peter Warland (SOS, M45) edged out Mick Smith (HH, M65) for the victory – both both made early errors, but Warland was fastest on 8 of the legs to win by just over 2 minutes. Dawn Figg (HH, W45) was the fastest female ahead of Rachel Cooper (HAVOC, W21).
A visitor from Spain, Javier Montiel, won the Light Green courses, while East London-based Spaniard Israel Hurtado won Orange. Catriona Kadirkamanathan (Brentwood School) was fastest on Yellow while CHIG’s Louis Peters won the White course.
In the SWELL standings, Smith should close the gap on Michael Muggeridge (HAVOC) in the Combined Adult classification. Cassandra LeFevre should retain her lead on White, Robbie Woolerton (Brentwood School) should climb the standings on Yellow and Luke Cooper (Brentwood School) should extend his lead over Matthew LeFevre (Palmer Academy) and Jacob Stephenson (Palmer Academy) on the Orange course. Victoria Mills (HAVOC) should maintain her lead on Light Green, with Owen Haigh (CHIG) moving up to second place.
Updated SWELL standings should appear in due course.

Organisers Comments
Just a note to thank everybody for their efforts in both the lead up to the event and on the day itself, which ensured another successful event. The weather finally relented, although conditions underfoot remained treacherous. Nevertheless, we had much positive feedback and many competitors were surprised at how challenging such a small area can be.
