First Strider home Tony Taylor takes a well-earned rest.
Is that a lane infraction Terry Coppenhall?
Third fastest runner, second best predictor Steve Treweeks.
In-form Tom clearly saves his best performances for races!
Gordon approaching the finishing straight.
2012 Predictathon champion, but sadly off the predicting pace this year. Was last year a fluke Paul?
First lady back, club Secretary and ultra-runner Heather.
Jo finishing in a great time. But...not so great prediction.
The champion predictor cruises in with impeccable and unprecedented timing.

What are you doing Cheryl? There's no Garmin there!
Bob storms home as 5th best predictor.
Jason setting a new pb: a 68 seconds differential.
Jill as 6th best predictor distances herself from Chris and Andre.
This year's worst predictors Chris and Andre.
Paul gets out-sprinted and out-predicted by new girl Lucy
I hope you weren't you hiding a watch under that sweatband Captain Wood! Ah no your 16th position suggests you weren't...
Grant comes in 8 minutes under his predicted time. Oh dear did no-one explain the rules to the new boy?
Rachel storms in just a few seconds behind Grant in time but 8 minutes ahead of him in predicting.

Where am I? What am I doing here?
Chris gets the wooden spoon!
Third place for Cheggs with some chocolates and Lucozade.
Steve celebrates his second place with more chocolates and fizzy pop.
Everybody relaxing with a drink and flapjacks whilst the results are calculated.
