There was certainly a chill in the air this weekend, autumn has well and truly arrived.
Numbers were slightly down due to Alvaston and Markeaton both being off. However, that meant Striders were out and about, and 28 blue and white stripes were at 11 different venues, with 11 First Timers. In addition the cooler weather has yielded 2 Pb’s. Chris Sharp smashed his Pb at University Parks, taking 2:40 off his previous best to clock 24:27. Meanwhile at Black Rocks Leo Pickford took 52 seconds off his to come in at 21:08. well done to you both 👏 .
