Ran all the way round with my eldest lad, Steve, and then, as we entered the stadium, he decided to do a sprint finish!

Results for Bosworth half marathon, 12-May-2013

6 Sphinx AC runners took part in the rebranded Hinckley Half. The event was run over the same course as its predecessor, but numbers were significantly down over previous years. Race conditions were nigh on perfect. Meticulously organised and well marshalled with the usual “personalised” T-shirt at the finish. Well done to Paul Cozens on his “old gits’ PB” (his words, not mine) and congratulations to Fiona Quinn on completing only her second ever half-marathon despite her considerable protestations.

Results for Coventry ParkRun, 11-May-2013

17 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with no first-timers and no PBs. The alternative course was in use today, which has more slopes, is longer and includes more off-road than the normal course. In combination, these seem to ensure that nobody gets a PB! Conditions were bright and warm to start with but strong winds set in and it clouded over as the run progressed, making it feel quite nippy at the end.
