A wet Saturday for our club park runners. I was spared a soaking by Wilmslow not needing me as a Finish Token hander-outer! Thereby blowing my one opportunity of being able to report I was the first club runner to cross the finish line! . A quiet weekend. We had 16 club runners running at 6 parkrun events – perhaps people were saving themselves for the Woodford 10k next day.
The usual suspects were at Bramhall. Rob turned up to scoot round impressively and was first home with an AG of 84.66%. Those recent hilly runs hasn’t affected his legs- he ran exactly the same time as did last time – some 5 weeks earlier! Another impressive run from PaulN who showed young PaulG a thing or two this week. PaulG after returning to park running after a 7 week lay off had to settle with chasing GrahamS around. Oliver started his travels again with a run here too.
MalcolmF returned to Macclesfield. But found it harder than last week – saying that he cruised round and was second home. ChrisC was back for the 4th time this year. But could only record his second fastest 2019 time. Ex club member SharonJ ran – but couldn’t make it a PB for the third time on the trot. All down to the conditions I would think.
MikeH returned to Cheadle – possibly to start training for XC – he finished 2nd but had a slower run than last time.
Nicky and Don chose Woodbank to knock off their parkrun competition list – Both were first-timers; for Nicky it was her slowest park run this year. Tim chose Didsbury and Pb’d by 13 seconds.
At Wilmslow, fewer runners than normal – only 7! Perhaps it was the Woodford 10k that kept them tucked up in bed on a dismal Saturday. SamB was first person home. Just ahead of a slightly older lady (Joni: SW18-19), running her first Wilmslow parkrun. We had four club runners in the first 10 finishers: Robin, RichardHa and TrevorM trotted in 4th, 5th 7th . Robin and Richard with fairly quick times but Trevor having his slowest run for a year.
Markus, apart from volunteering to help, ran his 100th parkrun. GrahamD ran his fastest for 6 weeks and Kathryn returning 6 weeks after her PB last time – ran her slowest parkrun. Roy helped marshal in the rain.
Next week it will be 15 years of Park Run. The very first park run took place on Saturday 2nd October 2004 in Bushy Park, with 13 finishers and 5 volunteers. Now 4,029,568 people have completed a Park Run, with 515,283 volunteers.
Summary:
Busiest: Bramhall (336) Quietist: Cheadle (42)
Fastest Male: RobD (18:09); Fastest Female: Kathryn (25:27)
Star performances: RobD (1st Male and AG: 84.66%); SamB (1st Male)
