Granite, Weymouth and AVR parkrun Triumphs

On a beautiful blue-sky day punctuated by march winds gusting up to well over 40mph, AVR’s Kevin Feeney and Katharine Moran took on the Granite Way 10 miler, an out and back course set against a stunning Dartmoor backdrop. Both were pleased to come in within their target 95 minutes, Kevin running his fastest ever 10 mile race, coming over the line in 1:31:16 and Katharine also sneaking in a PB at 1:34:48.

Two AVRs completed the Weymouth Half marathon where the sun was out, but the easterly wind made for occasional uncomfortable stretches on the exposed coastal course. Ron Seward finished 254th out of 800 with his time of 1:49:54 enabled Ron to finish 1st in the MV70 category. Despite the wind Diane Burn produced a PB of 2 hours 10 mins.

First 3 women finishers at Seaton parkrun this week were AVRs! Eleanor Wood, Kerry Board and Lisa Gregory. Top age grades for both men and women were AVRs Eleanor Wood 91% and Rob Collier 81%.
