French miles appeared to be a little shorter than their British 
and Irish counterparts this week, so I took the decision to count 
the results from the Joy Day race in Anduze as a separate event. 
That means we have 21 runners this week, four winners instead of 
just two, and four prizes to award.

Shyamala is our new winner of the womens race this week with a 
storming time of 13.15, twenty seconds quicker than her last 
virtual race. Dhavala came a close second while Amelia nipped 
in to take third place ahead of Agnes who recorded her best 
time so far. Dave recorded his first win in the mens race with 
a time of 12.10 with Steve close behind in 12.21 - these two 
are the only chaps to have taken part in all seven races, which 
is no mean feat. Uranta, who came third with 15.45 was one of 
three men making their debut this week, the others being Clive 
from Cambridge who completed a mile, and Manatita who ran in 
Anduze, having obviously been waiting for a race to take 
place in a warmer climate.

Transcenders from last week included Steve and Sumangali, 
as well as Agnes, Bithika and Indrani who all recorded their 
best results so far. Bithika somehow knocked seven minutes 
off her time from last week - perhaps she has a training 
secret the rest of us need to hear!

In France Suswara was a convincing winner in a roughly 2 mile 
race that took place on country lanes on a warm but breezy 
morning in the picturesque valley of the Gardon. Ollie finished
strongly to take second place while Manatita came third on his 
virtual debut. Nurari was first lady, ahead of Sahana, Bhashini, 
Paula and Sarada. About twenty runners from France, Italy, 
Hungary, Luxembourg and Bulgaria also took part, not to mention 
one French dog. Prizes are on their way to all four race 
winners - many thanks to the kind souls who donated them.
