Race to the Stones:
‘Some Might Say’ that 100km in the middle of July is a a mad idea. Not Chris Thorley, first of two mega Chris based performances this week. Chris Thorley finished 35th in the annual Race to the Stones.
Chris took about 4 hours off his previous best. Finishing in an incredible 10 1/12 Hours. Utterly ridiciulous. You mad man. I’ve attached his splits for you to look at and laugh.
Brueton parkrun:
Special early mention for Brueton this week as Chris Morgan rounds out our Chris-palooza of great performances. Chris smashed his 5k PB with a stunning 16:51 at Brueton. The guys up front went out hard (a 5:10 first mile) and Chris dug in with Gareth Wainwright with our men going 16:51 and 16:54 for second and third overall. Behind them Darren John tried gamely to hold onto the coat tails before fading to 17:38.
For our women Jane Hunt took the crown on Saturday in the rain. The downpour didn’t dampen her run with a strong 22:52. Sally Anderson splashed in behind Jane in 25:43 and Kate Marsh made the ‘moist’ of the wet conditions to paddle home in 25:57.
