parkrun Report – Saturday 4th February 2017

Jarlath McKENNA returned to first finishing ways at Ashton Court on Saturday. His time of 17:02 was below his best, but came at the end of a hard week which included the Midland Cross Country Championships and the Aztec West Fast 5k. Peter GANDON in sixth position and first SM25-29 with a time of 19:05 was the only other Club runner in the top ten. Polly AINSLEY was the second female in a time of 20:49. Clementine HOULDEN had the Performance of the Week with a two second PB in a time of 24:59. She was also first JW11-14.

Dan SCHOFIELD was the third finisher and first SM30-34 at Chipping Sodbury, in 18:39. Emma JOLLIFFE provided some symmetry, a common theme at the weekend, to the results finishing as third female. Emma’s time was 21:05, a twenty-for second PB.

David BRUCE was second at Pomphrey Hill in 17:03 and Rosey MUSHENS was the second female. Jay AKBAR, Claire SHINE and Bob COX were all first in their respective Age Categories.

Alan and Sheila WILCOX sampled the delights of the Watergrove parkrun at Rochdale, probably a lot more exciting than watching Bristol Rovers’ goalless draw at nearby Spotland. Again, there was some symmetry with both being first in the 45-49 Age Categories.

There were three other first finishers for the Club on Saturday.  Claire HALLISSEY and Helen NEWBERRY the first females at Braunstone and Minehead, while David AWDE and Maciej BIALOGONSKI were first at Wotton and Minehead.
