Dynamic duo brave foul weather

Race Report: Cockington Christmas Caper 7

Dynamic duo John Johnson and Graham Penn braved foul weather in Torquay on Saturday (December 12) to represent the Teignbridge Trotters at the Cockington Christmas Caper. This seven-mile, multi-terrain event is challenging at the best of times but heavy rain compounded the runners' difficulties, turning the course into a muddy skating rink.

The unpleasant conditions didn't put a damper on John's performance. He turned in an excellent time of 1.11.27, finishing 23rd overall and claiming the 1st male Over-50 prize. Graham battled stoically through the mud to post a doughty 1.16.50.
