All the old excuses:……………”.I wasn’t used to the route”………………..”It was too windy”…………..”I’m carrying an injury” and a few new ones:…………….”I was saving myself for the the Jaffa Cakes at the Run Bristol event”…………………….were in evidence as the Ashton Court parkrun was held on the reserve course due to the Bikefest being held at the top of the hill.
On a sunny morning, albeit still windy, but well below the levels of the previous day’s gale, 22 club members returned results. Statistical highlights were few and far between with only one PB being achieved – by Andrew Malloy. However club members still maintained their overall positions on the various leader boards.
Tom Morris made it three wins out of three runs at Ashton Court. On each of these occasions he has had Robin Dallman hard on his heels. Robin is catching up fast and has now cut the deficit from 42 seconds down to 12 seconds. Paul Burgess made his comeback from injury and there were also 2012 first appearances from Emma Bowers and Tamas Szikszay
Performance of the Week – a unanimous decision by your voting panel after minimal discussion – Andrew Malloy the only Bristol & West PB of the day.

All Bristol & West parkrunners are reminded that there will be a trip to the Southwick parkrun near Trowbridge on Saturday 11th August 2012, when the Ashton Court parkrun is cancelled due to the Balloon Festival.
There will also be another cancellation at Ashton Court on Saturday 22nd September 2012 due to the Brisfest (whatever that is) taking place. There will be a trip to another parkrun on that date. All suggestions welcome!
