A quieter week as far as racing is concerned, so the Peelers concentrated their efforts on the weekend’s parkruns with a couple of personal bests to show for it.
At Kingsbury, on form Wayne King finished second overall in a personal best time of 18:34. He was followed by Rob Mace in fifth place overall and a finishing time of 19:47. Crossing the line in fifteenth place and in a personal best time of 22:05 was Allen King, who is showing great form since joining the club. First lady home for the club (and third female) was Rachael Rickards in a time of 22:18. Other Peelers taking on the course at Kingsbury included: Ben Dorkins (23:14); Zoe Schnepp (23:45); Lisa Stretton (24:04); Chris Bennett (24:05); Darren O’Leary (25:48); Stella Taylor (27:06); Jackie Tierney (27:38); Carl Brittain (27:54); Jo Insley (28:56); Sophie Galloway (29:00); Clara Walton (29:07); Claire Guffick (29:54); Emma Whorwood (30:29); Roger Eastaff (32:11); Phil Neale (33:15); Darren Truman (33:16); Lee Rickards + mini Peeler (33:59); Sarah French (34:10); Alison Upton (34:43); Lee Guffick (36:39) and Wendy Bowyer (39:33).
