Thursday 1 August 2024 - A Sale Sizzler

We joined Paul and Jeanette for an evening 5km race around Wythenshawe Park. Running clubs from far and wide come to enjoy the fast course on which I've reported before.

I got round in my quickest time for over a year (28:25), finishing in position 479 out of 495 finishers. The others did better than that:

Paul - position 299, 21:26

Jeanette - position 458, 27:11

Sue - position 403, 24:37

Here we are at the start.

495 runners receive a briefing.

Jeanette looked particularly fresh and happy at the end, not having participated in a race for some time.

The gentleman pictured below arrived just in time to receive the award for being quickest in his age group.

The lovely warm evening graduated to dusk as we cycled home after the last of this year's four Sizzlers, this being the only one I could attend.

Full results are here.
