Em wins Silver at World Championships
Posted: 29/08/13
Emily Benham won her second World Championship in the Middle Distance Race. After the disappointment of the Sprint race, Em was able to refocus and produce a fantastic performance in the Middle Distance race. She finished just 33 seconds down on the winner but a clear minute and a half in front of the 3rd place rider.
For Em's account of her race check out her blog: http://embenham1.blogspot.co.uk
In the Junior Men Edwyn Oliver Evans produced the best ever result by a junior man in this category finishing in 17th place just 4 mins 31secs down on the winner. Edwyn is still a year younger than many of the top people in his class.
In the Mens Elite Race Ian Nixon finished in 71st place and Andy Douglas in 56th place.
Ian, Andy and Edwyn will be racing in the Relay tomorrow so we wish them well. Follow their progress at: http://www.orienteerumine.ee/mtbo2013/relay/
Emily has a well deserved day off before the Long race on Saturday
