Results for Coventry ParkRun, 16-Feb-2013

21 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with no first-timers and 1 PB. Not only was this a record-breaking attendance, the course was slightly long this week as the stretch of path near the Leamington Road car park was flooded again. This extra distance and right-angle turns probably denied Alfie Meade, Paul Cozens and Fiona Quinn of their PBs as they all missed out by just a few seconds. Adam Barnes and Wayne Broadbent added a fun element to this week’s race – both deliberately started at the very back of the field to see how many people they could overtake.

The men’s result was sufficient to maintain our placement in the 2nd of the three divisions. The new club tent made its maiden voyage and was put to good use. Conditions were surprisingly good, given the unexpected snow that had fallen in the morning and the drizzly conditions experienced on the journey to the venue.
