Saturday 32 Club runners participated at 12 parkrun events.
At Bramhall the Family W’s turned up. Andrew Third Man but top on AG. Daughter 2nd Lady.
Singletons: PaulG equal fastest this year and not too far off his 2016 time, Jarrod was a good 9th at Wythenshawe getting his legs trained for XC? Whilst Dr.M was 6th at Burnage with a PB – beating his 2016 time! Ian’s took to the Seaside for a brisk 5k. The breakfast club shrunk to one at Didsbury.
Doublets: Our newbies took on Durham. Our oldies statesmen couldn’t improve on their summer times at Conga’s. The Family S’s were in Great North territory. I better check the GNR results!
Threesome at Alexander Park. Qes 6th with his first run there and his fastest-ever Parkrun. Mum ran too. PeterW turned in another 80% AG – 68 runners finished behind him.
At Wilmslow, after a sombre start, Sam strolled around to be first back. Rebecca pacing timing was fantastic. Andy just missing out on sub 22 but was top on AG; and Jonathan quicker than last week.
Just leaves Alderley where a number of our members went aid the event: Sharon, Oliver, the B’s, Alan, and Don to name but a few. Sharon’s weary legs still ensured she came home first lady, PB’d and set the course category record. Good pacing for her from Mike. Mark and Richard also PB’d. Oliver missed out by a few seconds on his PB. Then came Rehab man. My intention was to run Bramhall as that had been where my first ever run happened. However, with the rain Thursday and Friday I didn’t risk slipping there – which I have done a few times before! So, I opted for the trees and trails remembering that it is a runners graveyard for scratches and falls after a few hundred metres. Still the plan was to do my longest plod until I felt it tiring and then walk and plod-fast-walk afterwards. AT Wilmslow last time I managed 20 plods – the longest 600m. This time concentrating on the ground I forgot to stop plodding. Don’t believe my time though – my Garmin shows 4800m! Either Garmin satellites having an off day or Oliver’s course measurement helped me 😊. Best parkrun toilets. Pity my Sausage Bap – my reward – ended up a sausage crumble after 3 bites.
Apologies if I have missed anyone.
