Results for various ParkRuns, 01-Feb-2014

Despite the shocking conditions, Sphinx AC were well-represented at various ParkRuns this weekend. Coventry 32 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with 1 first-timer and 1 PB. Conditions were like a bad year at Glastonbury, with a lot of sloppy mud and a huge puddle near the railway line (which enforced a small diversion). Being the fourth “birthday” of Coventry ParkRun, this run was fancy dress, with people encouraged to run in their pyjamas.

Sphinx AC men and women attended the Midlands XC championships at Newbold Comyn in absolutely atrocious weather and running conditions. The morning had been dry and bright, but a storm came in from the west as the event was about to get underway.
