WRC Parkrun Results 4th March 2023

The 2023 Race Series commenced this Saturday with the Parkrun events now counting for accumulating points towards the Race Series.

33  club members ran at 12 events.

There were a few solo runners out. IanS stretched his legs at Cheadle – I wonder if he found it as slippy and clingy as I did last time? RichardL just missed out on his PB. Another Richard took a trip to run around the Victorian area in North Birmingham. A little further South East was where Janine chose the water to run alongside. Colin went further South to the seaside with a Sub-23 run.

Over in God’s Country. At a very busy Sheffield Rebecca first-timed and was the first Lady runner home with her quickest run this year. Gareth and Victoria first-timed near the Pennines. The J’s went posh in Harrogate. I nearly made it to a  small parkrun near Saltburn – but domestic bliss and an excellent hotel breakfast trumped it!!😊

I think that just leaves the Series-ous points hunters eager for an early start. How many did choose the WRC Series events? Well , I think ikt was 23.:

Two members tried out the Country Squires paring with runs at Bramhall. Rob chose to pace a young man around for a sub-20 PB. Paul was taking it easy. No doubt those times will be consigned to the bin next time they run there.

There were ten City Slickers about. Four at Alexandra Park.  All had quick times.  Steve led the pack with his fastest parkrun since October.  Jan improving by the week was next. It was her best time since last April! She was followed home by the Gentlemen Elite Club. Perhaps Ian’s runs on holiday explained his quickest time this year. Roy, coming back from his niggle, had his quickest time since Christmas Eve.

There were 6 Slickers at Stretford. GrahamS on his annual visit PB’d beating his 2019 time. Susan First-timed and had her fastest ever parkrun time. [Also PB’d the following day at Trafford!!] Fantastic. Tracy did well too! Her fastest time this year.  Nic was next with a PB by over 30 seconds. Big Al with his consistent 23 minutes and Billy taking it remarkably easy for a change.

The local Women And Gentlemen only had a choice of one event. Alderley was cancelled so they could take a tree away. So there were most club runners at Wilmslow -eleven in all. Styal Runners were out pacing. Ashley was first runner home. Frances was first lady home – just pipping Lewis – and close to her PB. Janet got a PB again and had a great AG – was 2^nd overall. Hannah equalled her PB!
