Wow – a record breaking weekend!
29 Striders were out at 5 different venues. We had 2 First Timers, 2 Pb’s, a club record and a course record – although not a Strider.
Tim Stokes and Amanda Wilson visited Sutton Park for the first time and clocked 29:54 and 30:17 respectively. Lucy-Anna Boyd was at Norwich again and smashed her PB by 2:01. Martin Kerr, forever consistent, set a new PB at Alvaston with a time of 16:36, which is also a new club record for 5k MV 40 – well done Martin. At the same run a course record was set in an amazing time of 15:11.
A shout out to Rachel Farrow who achieved 24:33 at Long Eaton, her fastest time since having her 2 children, and she’s still got the sprint finish, great effort Rachel.
On a different note, there was an incident at Long Eaton when an elderly gentleman out for a morning walk collided with runners and ended up on the ground. He was shaken up but otherwise ok. Just a reminder to look out for other park users when we are running.
Have a great week everyone!
