It was a memorable race this morning with Stuart battling right to the line against a determined young athlete of about 1/3rd his age. Our money was on a surging Stuart with 100m to go but he was just held off. Excellent conditions and a thinner field than of late provided course PBs for many. It was good to see Carla making a first appearance although she'll go a lot faster next time without the limp.
No less than 3 Wilmslow daughters had a run out this morning. Francesca is returning from injury and Jessica had to keep waiting for dad – for both a great achievement to complete the 5k. Juliet meanwhile pressed on to finish first lady – as dad told her "a wins a win: you can only beat those that turn up".
