Cirencester Athletics and Triathlon Club 29 December 2019
The Gloucester 10 attracted a whole range of talents – the winner ran at a quality 4.9 minute mileing pace but our own Mark Sysum achieved a super respectable pace of 6 minutes per mile to finish 24th in 1.00.22. Lee Lawrence was “not shabby” with 7.20 mileing and a finishing time of 1.12.30. Further back, but equally satisfying, were Rachel Barrow in 1.31.31 and husband Paul with a PB in 1.48 and Nina Lawrence just thrilled to be back competing and to finish in 1.55.

Henry Sheffield (JM 11-14) was so-ooo close to winning a senior parkrun coming in 2nd at Severn Bridge having been piped to the post by a mere second but his sub 17 minute PB time of 16.55 impresses us all. But let’s not forget Isobel Wattss’(JW11-14) PB of 21.17 which brought her home 11th and 1st lady at Kingsway, Gloucester. Elsewhere as Tetbury grows and Stonehouse drops numbers but both saw some fine runs from family Timms and McAdam in Tetbury and Kate Sackett (VW60-64) who was 10th overall and 1st lady at Stonehouse. Ian Barrett was 6th in Torbay in 18.23, Rachel Ranger ran well with 24.46 in Exeter and Gordon Jones(VM70-74) had a go at the relatively new Seven Fields in Swindon to finish in 24.50 while Barbara Thomas and David Moss stuck to Swindon Lydiard. Finally, Thomas McNally was in Chipping Sodbury and Ruth Fulford returned to Cheltenham to run at King George V Field.
