Barrow parkrun:
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner. Jonathon Bellman took the sweet taste of victory in Barrow. His 19:06 took the first place finishers token. Congrats JB.
Troon parkrun:
No problems keeping in Troon for Claire Maggs as she ran 27:33 at Troon parkrun.
Sheringham parkun:
A parkrun named after former England forward and notable lothario Teddy Sheringham? Phil Wood (not named after Teddy Sheringham) ran 24:27.
Colby parkrun:
Gareth Wainwright took a long overdue break from Brueton parkrun. We’re beginning to think he actually just lives in Brueton park. Venturing to Colby he still clocked a sub-18, running 17:40 to take be the second man to take the first finishers token this week (although technically the first as he ran quicker than Jonny).
Gedling parkrun:
Gedling for Uber-tourist Kevin Tomkinson who added another parkrun to his growing CV. Kev enjoyed a 29:31 run.
Holkham parkrun:
Wainwright’s on tour as Ainsley clocked up a 20:30 in Holkham.
Torbay Velo parkrun:
Darren John’s lungs gave him trouble again after last weeks promising return to being able to run without wheezing. He ran 21:12 without oxygen. Humpf.
Dolgellau parkrun:
Quickest K&D of the week was Chris Sharp who rounded out three K&D men’s first placers this week. #Dominant. Chris ran 16:58. Not to be left out Flick Sharp ran a swift 20:32 for second woman.
