June seems to have flown by with several events occupying our time devoted to running. However, back in the first week of June we had another fantastic lockdown solo Auldhouse 5k TT participation. I am reluctant to mention the number of runners as I always miss at least one person but my rough estimate is that there were 18 who completed the traditional Auldhouse course and another handful doing socially distanced 5k's in the vicinity of their homes. So thanks again for the tremedous support. There are too many to list everyone so please refer to the full results in the Auldhouse 5k link to the left of the blog. However I will mention the fastest times, the course bests and the big improvers.
Fastest time for the second month in a row was Stuart Gibson who ran an excellent 16:24 on the hilly route. Stuart initially thought this was a course best but on checking back in the spreadsheet, we were able to confirm that he ran 4 seconds faster in 2013. Not only is this a remarkable time 7 years down the line but it was actually on the very same day of the month in 2013 that Stuart ran his best. A remarkable coincidence. Well done Stuart. Stuart's brother Robert also made his first officially timed run around the course in 24:45. The potential is there to be extracted!
Ian Hughes and Iain Tomb tied on 2nd fastest with 18:52. This was a season's best for Iain but not for Ian! However, achieving an excellent 28 second course best was Chris McCarron in 18:58, showing the great potential he has.
Callum Wright broke 20 minutes for the first time, finishing in 19:55, a 32 second improvement on last month. Well done Callum.
Also making a big leap forward, Mark Phimister set a new course best of 20:38, a 20 second improvement in one month, beating his Dad in the process but dragging Stephen round to a 20 second season's best too.
