Saturday 19th was when the WRF race headquarters opened for Festival runners to collect their numbers, shirts and race gear bargains; and stay on for various talks and exercising! Food and drink too!
Also a number of volunteers were working on the logistics and deliveries and course checks in the background!
Even so, we still had 18 club runners at 10 parkrun events.
Mark, back to running was the sole Bramhall runner – 3 seconds quicker than last time. RichardL at Wythenshawe.
JohnP chose Burnage for stretching his legs. Ashley did a bit more than stretch his legs. First Finisher at Rochdale. AndrewG at Stretford – just 3 seconds oh his PB – and IanS on home soil in York; and
Staying in God’s country, Julian went in search of Mother Shiptons and first timed at Knaresborough.
Chris chose Angela’s local to try-out Breakfast. JohnB’s daughter was first women home.
Oliver warmed up for his pacing duty by running at Congleton. Peter was out too in the sun just 3 seconds off his quickest parkrun this year; and an AG of 80%.
A clutch of runners ran locally at Wilmslow. Many of our runners were pacing next day. Jim eased his legs and Achilles round and was second person to finish. Qes not far behind in 4th. Andy and Jim second and third on AG. Jim back running after 4 months.
RichardH, Andy, Rebecca and Colin were reasonably brisk with their runs too. Colin trying to shed a few ounces to fit into Nicky’s Pacing t-shirt!!
Apologies if I have missed anyone or any achievement. A busy this week!!!
