Wilmslow Runners Parkrun results 19th February 2022

Well storm Eunice proved a challenge to our club parkrun runners. But even with some parkruns called off because of the bad weather it  still did not stop some runners. Or should we say storm chasers? Or possibly Team Storm?

Well 21 runners ran at 7 parkrun events. Briefly, before I get away with all the activities this weekend.

Stalwart Paul was sole runner at his local event. First lady might have ended up behind him but first in his age category [AC] was in front of him by 1 second!

Other lone and lonely runners were: Graham returning to Stockport after 4 years was first in his AC, Richard at South Manchester; and Colin who was boosting the participation [28] at Cheadle by 3% – they had 5 first timers as well.

If it wasn’t as wet as it could get. The Breakfast Club went to Sale Water for a Run and Munch. AndrwG was there too. He PB’d by nearly 30 seconds.  Carolyn had her best run there since 2019;  Richard second in his AC as was Carolyn; Chris first [of 1!] 😊

Those other runners looking for safety in numbers went to Congleton and Wilmslow.

Congleton saw Tim – wind assisted? – pushed into 5^th by a fraction of a second. Both him at 4^th PB’d . Tim by 17 seconds. Only second on AG though with 84.84% – beaten by a lady. Alan was second Wilmslow runner to finish. He last ran there 4 years ago as did JP and Ian.

Nicky had her fastest time for ages. At Congleton her time was her quickest since 2018. Top AG with 86.06%.  Don ran his 49^th parkrun. Nicky and JP top in their ACs. Ian his quickest since November.

Wilmslow had one more runner out on Saturday. Seven in total. It was wet!

Sharon was our first runner home and second lady finisher. Also second on AG. GrahamD our first male runner and second in his AC. Ashley and AndrewC paced each other round. Oliver and Rebecca followed. Roy sub 30 and second on AC. Ian volunteering whilst trying to take orders for logs.

Summary:

• Busiest Event: South Manchester [321]; Quietest Cheadle [28].
• Top Age grade at Event: Nicky
• AG 80%+ : Nicky (86.06%); Tim (84.84%)
