The Wreakies traveled around the UK today, busy running half marathons in London, Peak District, Peterborough, and a marathon in Chester!
In London Andy Carmichael achieved a PB at the Royal Parks Half (1:26:09), Andy only joined the club in January, he’s scooped up three LRRL awards last week, and another PB today, he keeps getting faster!
In the Peak District, Marsha Weale, Ash & Karen Holt took on the Tissington trail half marathon. An A-B downhill route through stunning countryside with just cows to cheer you on, and a huge medal for all finishers, well done Ash for a PB – over 2 minutes quicker than his previous best. Elsewhere in the Peak District Fiona Smith and Bruno Nikoloff took on the Carsington Duathlon (5k run 30k bike and 5k run), Fiona got a bit lost and did 7k, but finished the race happy, Bruno once again won his age category!
Three took on the less scenic (but fast & flat) Great Eastern Half at Peterborough, all returned with shiny new PBS, well done fellas (Luke Smith 1:25:41, David Jackson 1:32:42, & Artur Lasinski 1:36:11).
Gaz Munsey can’t get enough of marathon’s, having completed the Berlin Marathon a couple of weeks ago, he now completed the Chester Marathon in 3:36:46 – another PB!
Well done also to Ash Pick in the Beacon Half Trail today, and to Nathan Smith for a swift Golden Gates 5 miler in Derbyshire.
Finally, further to this year’s theme of “Wreake are amazing”, Wreake U13 and U15 girls teams were both 5th in the NATIONAL Road Relay Champs yesterday, technically a different club…but good effort for another little club from Syston!
Well done all, you’ve all deserved a well earned rest!
