The sun won

Judging by the number of people with red faces, necks and arms it seems that many people were caught out by the sun at the weekend and caught a bit of it.

But in the Isle of Man Children Centre's fund raising event, Race the Sun, the runners well and truly beat the sunlight hours with a record breaking winning performance.

I have just linked to the results page at http://www.manxtimingsolutions.com/Results/2010/2010_ResultsMain.htm

but unfortunately you can't see the individual performances as the team name is listed on all the split times rather than the names of the runners.

It was the daughters rather than the sons that caught the headlines off island. I published photos of two of the successful athletes, Harriet Pryke and Gail Griffiths, and linked to the reports on the forum only to then read about another star performance from Lauren Whelan.
