Saturday 28/3/15
As predicted, and despite the weather, a record number of 12 runners registered their first or attempted to improve on existing times.
Nicky and Christian at South Manchester, but didn't beat their previous best.
Mike Hill, Doc Matt, Ian and Julie (on her way back from a shoulder injury) braved the elements to register times at Lyme Park. Ian was spotted sheltering from the wind and rain cowering behind a gatepost, an advantage of being slim. Gareth's lead there didn't last long, Mike in 20.32 and Matt in 22.01 have gone ahead of him, Ian just behind in 23.27, and Julie came in with a time of 31.55.
Rob Downs headed south to Congleton along with his daughter Juliet and others. Rob came in first with 17.37 and Juliet first lady in forth place in 19.08. Louisa, another first timer at Congleton, in 21.07, Tony coming back to form knocked a minute off his previous best in 21.51, Jamie trimmed 40 seconds off his best time with 23.14, followed by Patrick in 23.23, hope it was worth the journey Patrick, with Doddy just behind in 23.31.
