Results for Coventry ParkRun, 23-Nov-2013

32 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with 1 first-timer and 2 PBs. A dry, bright but frosty morning meant that conditions underfoot were a bit slippy. The Coombe 8 and Clown half marathons on Sunday, plus many of our regulars chaperoning other runners, meant PBs were few and far between. Pete Hall (frustratingly) equalled his PB to the second, whilst junior Elizabeth Foxall and Mike Wall’s daughter, Lauren, did some PB-smashing!
