It was another exciting day of action at the World Games with the Middle Distance Race. Tessa Strain finishing in 13th place. Tessa finished the race in the lead with a fantastic 4min advantage over the nearest runner. Tessa was very excited with her run which is great to see!
Megan Carter Davies finished in 30th place and had some challenges early on in the race and also at control number 10 which meant she didn’t have the race she quite wanted.

In the men’s race, Ralph Street followed up his Sprint race result with a good run in the Middle Distance finishing in 14th place.
Ralph said after his race: “I made no big mistakes but got a bit frustrated because I made lots of really small 5 /10s errors. Not a bad run!”
Peter Hodkinson finished up in 23rd place.
Peter said after his race: “I was pleased with my run but I was feeling yesterday’s big effort in the Sprint.”
Ed Nicholas, Team Manager said: “Both Ralph and Peter are feeling good about tomorrow and hopefully they can rest well this evening. Overall it sounded like the course felt longer than normal with some steep climbs and tough going through the dense parts.”
The World Games Middle distance competitions were held in Trzebnica, Poland today.
