Wow! A week after the Parkrun Competition closed and a day before the XC Match 3 and even with blustery weather we still had 30 Club Runners run at 9 events.
Probably the most exotic and scenic run was at Victor Harbour a fantastic 21:25 and an AG of 81.40% was accomplished by AndyW somewhere south of Adelaide.
Other singleltons included Huma at Stretford with her fastest time this year. JonathanD returning to Ally Pally, whilst TrevorM returned to Oxford for his usual impressive time and an AG of 81.20%, DiBy was at South Manchester to record her fastest parkrun this year.
The Usual Suspects were at Bramhall. They seemed to have been joined by MarkC who seems to be a regular now – he probably couldn’t get ticket for the Huddersfield match!! Anyway a there was a quick time for Rob and an AG of 83.74%, a bit slower than his last few outings. Might be saving himself for the Xmas Handicap 🙂 Both Pauls had quick times too. PaulN nosing it again. Such rivalry between them almost bringing the tussles between Ovett and Coe to mind! Janine stretched her legs and saved herself for XC. Mark posted his fastest race there since April.
At Congleton RichardHi, without his Breakfast Bandit partner running, posted a quick time. Nicky and Don having finished their Parkrun Competition courses turned up too. Nicky after surviving the cold training session on Tuesday romped home with an AG of 81.63% with her fastest parkrun since May. Don was a little slower than his last visit in 2017. I mustn’t forget Roy, he beat his January 2019 time and wasn’t too far off his best 2018 time.
As usual Wilmslow was most popular. They had a computer glitch but still managed to get the results out. We saw the fastest times for Wilmslow male and female runners. DiMcV was first lady home – 4th overall – followed close by JamesS pipping RichardHa to 6th home. Di achieved an AG of 82.30%. Richard not too far off a PB. Our club runners then formed a 5 man peda-ton and came home as 10th to 14th finishers. Led by Robin , then: MikeH, JamesE, MatthewT and GrahamD. Matt, on the mend, ran his fastest parkrun since February. JonB returned to parkrunning after a years absence and was just a few seconds slower than his last run in December 2018. ColinC not far off his PB then Oliver and Laura (now on 97 parkruns) not too far behind. Jan’s quick run was her second fastest this year. Not sure what Tim was doing – training for a Tri? AlanT had his fastest since April and JohnP, recovering, turned up this week and ran his fastest since Christmas last year. Di was second by AG this week, pipped to the post by eternal youngster Margaret a VW65+ who recorded an AG of 84.39%.
It looks like Nick’s training sessions must be working with so many fast times being recorded by so many of our runners. Keep it up everyone.
Summary:
Busiest course: Stretford (428) ; Quietest Victor Harbour (86)
Fastest Male: James Speedie (19:11) ; Female ; Di McVey (18:50)
Tourist of the day: Andy Watts (Australia!) – and probably the warmest!!
Performances of note [all AGs]: Rob Downs 83.84%, Di McVey 82.30%, Nicky Mowat 81.63%, Andy Watts 81.40%, Trevor Morris 81.20%
