Well I think it’s fair to say that winter returned on Saturday. Wind and rain, and not particularly warm. Having said that 34 Striders were out and about again at 8 venues. Headlines were 1 PB, 6 First Timers and a cow!
Jethro Holden set a new PB at Markeaton in a time of 24:58, watch out Pascale he’s coming for you! Chris Sharp made his first appearance at Rother Valley, Paul Roome visited Didcot before completing the Abingdon marathon on Sunday, and Great Salterns was the venue of choice for Richard Tissington, Hazel Baxter, Tim Stokes and Amanda Wilson.
So the cow? She put in an appearance at Shipley. Unfortunately she wasn’t for moving, the course had to be changed at the last minute. which meant going up that hill 3 times! Thanks for that Ermentrude 😊.
Weather is looking good for next weekend, and don’t forget Sunday is Worksop Halloween Half.
Have a good week’s running!
