GRC Grand Prix Round 15b Rutland Water parkrun

Simon's choice of tutu cost him time

This latest round of the GRC Grand Prix at Rutland Water was fortunate to coincide with its second birthday party so flapjacks and “free from” cakes were enjoyed by all thirteen members of the club who took part. In attendance were all of the club’s most experienced parkrunners led by Peter Bonner on 232 and Chris Limmer 170 with both Simon Hartley (86) and Stuart Baty (83) closing in on their 100 tee-shirt. The warm-up confirmed this was going to be a wind effected race especially after the turn on the dam.

Pasky keeps Peter honest

 The first finisher was a former Grantham athlete Aaron Hunt who is now close to National level at U17, first lady was Catherine Payne. First home for GRC was Chris Limmer in 17:10 some 30 seconds outside his best set on a day when the wind was kinder. He was followed in by Rob Howbrook and Peter Bonner both even further adrift of calm weather PB’s. Rob’s 81.12% score was helped further extend his lead at the top of the men’s table. Sarah High, running as a first timer set a score of 72.78% to move up to second place in the Ladies table
