Bedford Parkrun 17.08.13
Liam & I were the only representatives of Flitwick Tri at this week’s event.
Liam was looking for his third consecutive PB and a sub 21 minute time and was on course until a stitch at the 3.5k mark ended that notion. He finished the race in 17th place in a time of 21m 18s.
I was slightly happier than Liam in that I knocked 15 seconds of my previous PB set over 3 months ago finishing the race in 50th place in a time of 24m 14s.

Bearbrook 10K - 11.08.13
On Sunday Les and I ventured over to Aylesbury for the Bearbrook 10K. The run attracted 475 runners and a lot of them appeared to be pretty serious club runners.
The route took us very gradually up hill for the first 5k, then there were a couple of steeper up hill sections for the next 2k followed by a very welcome 3k downhill section to the finish. The weather started overcast and breezy but soon after the start the sun came out and the temperature soon warmed up.
Despite the hills Les and I managed to achieve good times but the route was never likely to be one for PBs.
Times were:
Chris Wright 46.12
Les Potts 51.41

Bedford Parkrun - 10.08.13
Saturday morning dawned bright but thankfully a bit cooler for the Bedford Parkrun and 5 FlitwickTri members turned up to try and take advantage of it.
Having said "never again" after her first Parkrun Lois surprised me on Friday night to say she wanted to take part again. I took the chance to be 'Evil Coach' again and ran with her to provide my special brand of support and encouragement.
Liam and Sarah showed how it should be done with excellent new PBs being achieved by both of them.
The times were:
Liam Ko 21.04
Sarah Eke 29.50
Ellen Wright 33.25
Lois Wright 42.59
Chris Wright 43.00
Well done to everybody.
