Frosty 5 standings after Eastnor 7

,

Click to download Frosty 5 standingsWell it took a bit of time but the latest update of the Frosty 5 series is here.

No real movement at the top after the penultimate race, so it all comes down to the last race of the season.

Dependent on who runs on Sunday the first three places are very much up for grabs.

As ABBA once sang, 'the winner takes it all'

Frosty Winter 5 update (after 8 races)

Almost at the finish line now, only two races remain for competitors to improve on their totals. The Eastnor Magnificent 7 and Shobdon offer an excellent opportunity to really gather some extra points, so get you entries in now.

As it stands the top of the mens leaderboard remains identical to the last race as none of the leaders ran in the Muddy Woody. However, Kathryn King's superb display earning her 25 points and second place in the series.

Both competitions will certainly go down to the wire.

 

Frosty Winter 5 series after 7 races

Sunday's excursion to Presteigne brought to an end the latest winter cross country series, and with it the seventh race of our Frosty Winter 5 series.

 

Only three races now remain for our intrepid members to gain the points which will count towards their final tally, and at this point podium places are still up for grabs!

Mike Fawcett currently sits a top the Men's competition, closely followed by John Pullen and Adam Michmiok respectively. Indeed, Adam's excellent performance at Presteigne has seen him knock out one of his previous lower scores, and in an 8 point swing reduce the gap from John to 2 points.

Meanwhile, the ladies event is beginning to take shape as more competitors reach the minimum five races required to be eligible for the overall prizes. Jane Rowland's superb season is reflected by the fact she currently holds first place from Sandrine Gorin, who in her debut season has already helped the ladies team retain the winter XC championship. Rounding out the trio at the top is Becki Ansfield for whom the word 'consistant' was seemingly invented.

It will interesting to see how the scoring is affected over the remaining races, where there is a possibility of fewer Wye Valley entrants at each event. The potential to increase your points haul could see some tactical choices being made by our more competitive members!

 

Frosty 5 series after 6 races

The latest Frosty 5 update is ready, and now the competition starts in earnest.

The competition has reached its sixth event which means those runners who have competed in all six races are now trying to better previous scores to improve their totals. Meanwhile, some of you will be approaching the 5 race qualifying requisit.

With this in mind this update is the first to show the current table for those who have completed 5 or more races.

In the mens event perennial John Pullen (239) currently enjoys over Adam Michmiok (229), who in turn leads Steven Flowers (213) by 16 points. However, the final races could see this turned on its head.

The ladies event has only 3 competitors who, to date, have completed 5 races. In first place is Becki Ansfield (226), closely followed by Lynne Compton (221). Hot on their heals is Jan Edwards (215). The next race will see a few more ladies enter thr fray so expect these standing to change considerably.
