Well Parkrun was interesting this week. Perhaps after the hot weather we have had, a cooler, wetter day might suit some runners.
You may already know that Ian broke the Category record at Sale Water. Perhaps, like me, one day he’ll be called Sir Ian. But did anyone know that Tim broke the Category record in his age group at Alexandra park and with impressive AG of 87.11%. The best that day at the event. Not to be outdone, Angie had the best AG at Marple. My, how are runners are flying at the moment!!
Richard was sub 17 at Weymouth. Wind assisted? An AG of 81.95% too. Not first home like the Whittinghams: Andrew and Louisa at Congleton. They had AGs of 82.93% and 81.10%. Louisa was third home overall. It won’t be long until we see Loisa ahead of him I fear.
PaulG won the battle of the Pauls at Bramhall. The Johnstones chose Lyme Park – Oliver getting a PB. The breakfast Boys were at Didsbury – Jill first timed there as well. IanS chose a grassy run at Cheadle.
John ran at South Manchester and has reported back that the start has moved to be near the Holy Trinity church which is about at the 2 mile mark on the old course. The start is on the tree lined avenue near Platt Lane. I think it is a temporary move. So, check before you go or on your arrival. Arguments about car parking ensued. I personally park in the park’s car park. Toilets there and a jog and warm up to the start.
Busiest event was at Weymouth [471]; quietest Cheadle [70]. Tourist of the Day was Richard at Weymouth.
Wilmslow saw 10 of our members running. Ex-member Matt won. Our members only managed 3 of the top ten finishers. Sam PB’d by 11 seconds. It was the third PB on the run 😊. Ivan ran his second ever parkrun, two years after his first [10/8/19]. Richard was 6 seconds off his best. Lydia chase Nic around, nearly catching him, and ended up with a PB by almost 2 minutes.
Other records show Jemina, who finished second at Wilmslow now holds the ladies course record [17:46], though it should be a while before someone breaks Daniel Cliffe’s mens time of 15:46.
Apologies If I have missed an achievement by any of our runners.
