Parkrun results 4th January 2020

The Cheshire XC Championships beckoned in the afternoon and may have kept some of our faster runners in bed – but still we had 29 club runners at 13 Parkrun events.

At Wilmslow we had 12 runners, or to be more precise: 11 runners and 1 walker; Don chose to volunteer and be a tail walker at the same time for his 101^st Volunteering!

RichardHa was first club finisher and 7^th overall just pipping Robin – both with quick 19+ minute runs. MikeH would have been an excellent 20-minute pacer.

Then came our first lady runner home – Rebecca.  She was just pipped to being first lady finisher by the smallest of margins. AlanT with his fastest Parkrun at Wilmslow since May 2017 – do we need a drugs/mince-pie test to be carried out here? Then Jan with her (now) usual sub 25-minute run. Nick’s training is certainly working for her – wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a Tri-PB in the offing here in 2020. Then GrahamD – pacing or jogging on his 99^th parkrun? – followed by JohnP with his fastest time since October 18. It was his 250^th parkrun! He was just ahead of ColinW who was just a little quicker than his pre-Christmas run, he accompanied a very consistent Kathryn  round– just pipping her at the line. Catherine was back again after New Years day and was just a few seconds slower than then. And Don ‘Tail-ran’ escorting a small group at the back round in under 50 minutes.

At Bramhall there was no Rob – but daughter Ellen was first lady finisher and third overall with her fastest time for over 2 years. Must be that handicap run of ours that helped make it so! The other Usual  Supects took it easy PaulG – 1 second ahead of PaulN and just a few seconds in front of Janine  who was third lady finisher; who by the way first-timed at Hyde on New Year’s Day. MarkC , no doubt happy his New Years wish came true, ran his fastest there since April 18!

Congleton saw Tim, our Sue Hool trophy winner, finish 8^th just a few seconds ouside his recent December PB. Stretford saw Huma put in a strong run, her son Qes ran fast too, his quickest since May.

At Macclesfield we had Malcolm running a quickish time that saw him finish 7^th in 20+ minutes, ex-member Sarah started 2020 with her 4^th parkrun.

Then we had the travellers. The Johnstone’s split up, with Sharon going north to Didsbury and was first lady finisher, whilst Oliver chose to travel south to first-time at Hanley and push one step nearer towards his 50^th different course.

Singletons included Angela at her local Marple course with her fastest time since August; RichardHi at Cheltenham where he PB’d; Jonathan at Ally Pally; and Roy first-timing at another Ally – no doubt trying out the course before competition begins in March. Carolyn and ChrisC chose Sale Water for a breakfast run.

Others chose to fly out to warmer climes for their run!  Nicky paced her daughter Victoria around the course in Douglas – I assume that’s what they were doing and were not taking part  in a three-legged race!!
