A mild, calm morning was ideal for the 116 participants who took part in the Gorleston Parkrun.

The age graded results give a fairer impression of performance level so whilst Sandy Roberts, first lady home scored 81.0% and David Hughes, second man home scored 78.7% the third highest scorer on the day with 75.2% was Dianne Crosby in 79th position overall. To be lifted from 79th to third when age is taken into account shows how encouraging these results can be and how anyone may feel enabled to compete with the strongest and fastest.

Ted Oldman of Bungay Black Dog RC was the first home in 18:15 for his 15th win. David Hughes was second in 18:26 and Darren Barnes third in 18:49.

In the men’s points table Nick Overy still has a slender lead, of 54 points, over Kane Simmonds.

In the ladies race Sandy Roberts made it five wins out of five with a time of 20:12. She was followed by Kathleen Williamson of Bungay Black Dog RC in 23:30 and Janina Domiczew in 23:50. The Sweat Shop prize winner for parkrun achievement in December was Alison Ayres.
