Another record total of 546 (beating last May's total by49) runners took part at Southsea parkrun event #279 marking a memorable debut for new RD Christopher.
Will Ryan ran the 4th fastest of his mammoth 244 parkruns and the 11th best ever at Southsea. Emma Jolley was 1st lady, Martin Biddle ッ ran another PB this time by 0:55,Thomas Redmond ran one of his best times andBilly Jules Bilton continued his recent improvement with his best since February 2018. There was another PB for Carol Carberry, this time by 0:12 assisted?? by Nutmeg. Craig Wheatley made his debut and Natasha Jackson ran her 3rd PB in her last 4 runs, this time lowering it by 0:13. Cat Underwood ran her 2nd PB (0:08) in a row an now has smashed just under a minute off this year already!
Quite a few were holding back a little as they had the Stubbington 10k the next day. A report on that will follow in the next few days I hope. We also had Baffins runners at the recent Twixmas 10k, Brutal at Longmoor and Wickham Torchlight 10k (Friday 11th) and Maverick in the New Forest (12th). If anyone would like to write a quick report on any of these just email Denise Courtney who can put it on the web page and/or facebook. They can even just pick out the BFC runners from the results if they like.
I must mention one exceptional non-parkrun performance by our Louise Griffin who ran the 45 mile Country to Capital, Wendover in Bucks to London in 7:02:25 hours, 16th of 76 women! This pace was a fantastic 5:50 per mile! And all after falling down where a manhole cover was missing a few days before.
