Flitwick Tri: September 2016

Linford Wood Parkrun - 10 September 2016

Another good Flitwick Tri turnout at Linford Wood Parkrun this week. Conditions were a bit damp but that didn't stop 194 runners taking part, possibly helped by the fact that there was no Willen Lake Parkrun this week.

Times were:

Jack Wilikinson 68th in 25.47
Les Potts 69th in 25.48
Pete Jones 82nd in 26.37 (new PB)
Emily Potts 167th in 37.21
Chloe Potts 168th in 37.22

Well done all.

Milton Keynes Parkrun - 3 September 2016

A large group of us went over to Milton Keynes for the Willen Lake Parkrun to celebrate Fiona's 100th Parkrun. As usual there was a huge turnout for the run with 502 runners taking part.

The weather was good and not too warm which meant conditions were pretty much ideal.

Our times were:

Chris Wright 79th in 22.49
Pete Jones 197th in 26.26
Fiona Jones 202nd in 26.33 (NEW PB)
Jack Wilkinson 203rd in 26.34
Les Potts 209th in 26.49
Jason Murphy 424th in 35.50
Sian Jones 449th in 38.01

Well done all!

Crissy Field Parkrun - California

Having arrived 2 days earlier we had time to get our bearings and work out how to get to the start…We planned to take the cable car over the hill but on the morning they were packed and so with time becoming a worry we decided to taxi it.

Our times were

Fiona 27:16

Pete 27:43

Sian 39:07

If you get the chance go do it! The course was flat and should have been fast… The race director was very enthusiastic – taking a photo o
