JLL Property 5K - 24.08.16

On a very hot Thursday evening in Regents Park 814 runners gathered for the JLL Property 5K a charity run organised by JLL to raise funds for the Starlight charity. The run is for those who work in or around the property industry and my firm meets that criteria.

This year due to holidays, weddings and injuries there were only 2 of us taking part from my firm.

The run is mostly flat and covers a winding route around the beautiful park. The 37 degree c temperatures made the run very tough with many people, my colleague included, really struggling with overheating.

I managed what I think is a pretty reasonable time in the conditions of 22.55 which was good enough for 187th place. My colleague Judith, after very little training, managed 765th place in a time of 36.47.

Les would have been very impressed with the huge medal presented at the end and there was also a vast supply of free beer, wine and water at the end.

Linford Wood Parkrun - 06.08.16

We had a good turnout from FlitwickTri at the Linford Wood Parkrun in Milton Keynes yesterday with 5 of us in action along with friend Samantha from MK also taking part. Conditions must have been good with 4 of us getting PBs at this Parkrun.

There were 169 runners in total and the weather was fine and sunny but thankfully much of the run is in the shade as it weaves through the woods.

Our times were:

Jack Wilkinson            20th in 21.58
Chris Wright               26th in 22.25 PB
Liam Ko                      57th in 25.30 PB
Les Potts                     58th in 25.33 PB
Sarah Eke                    147th in 34.59               


Samantha Evans           90th in 28.49 PB

Well done all.
