Krov 2009

The 25th Krov midnight run was another great success for us. Considering we had as usual tried valiantly to drink the whole village dry in the days leading up to the race all our runners ran brilliantly.
Graeme, Les, Clare and Heather ran in the 8 pm 3800 metre event, Graeme coming 3rd in his category, and Clare showing her patriotism by wearing the flag of St George over her shoulders.
At 20 minutes to midnight the main race began. Tim, Graeme and the chairman once again showed the Germans a thing or two!! by running in thongs, any resemblances to Borat's mankini were purely accidental.
This time Mandy wore the cross of St George, and Graham waved his union jack as he ran, that showed um!!!!
As we ran through midnight Elaine became 50, and we all celebrated with cake, balloons, beer and wine, in the huge village hall after the race finished. We also watched an amazing firework display across the Mosel river. Our ladies team finished 3rd in the team event, helped by a small misunderstanding as to the sex of one of our runners. 
Our German hosts were very welcoming and treated us all with great kindness as they do every year, party on!
