When Maxford Pipe finished Saturday’s HLSCC Highland Spring race on Virgin Gorda, he appeared to be upset, despite finishing in first place.
That’s because he was hoping to break Renold Brown’s course of 10 minutes and 28.3 seconds set in 1999.
Mr. Pipe finished with a time of 10.72 minutes.
The time was good enough for first place and he was able to win the series on VG.
“In general this was one of the faster races with the last runner crossing the line under 26 minutes,” Race Director Stephanie Russ Penn said. “Esron Simmons apparently pulled the entire field along. Maxford Pipe the now overall male winner for the seventh time attempted to take advantage of the pace, but came up disappointedly short of his desired sub eleven minute time. Overall there was an excellent turn out for the Virgin Gorda leg of the HLSCC Higland Spring series and the college extends our appreciaion to the Virgin Gorda community for their continued support.”
The last race on Tortola is scheduled for Nov. 10, while the race for a cause will held on Nov. 24th.
