Club Report – Sunday 17th February 2019
As with most weeks lately, we start the report with yet another late result from the Donaldsons’ travels in the US of A. Springsteen doesn’t tour this long.
Fed up with parkruns and 5 milers, the two lunatics decided to take on the Florida marathon, Danny finishing in 3:52:43 and Tiffany in 5:48:56. Another one chalked up guys, well done!
Another late result I promised to catch up on was the Junior results from the Stormont XC event:
U13 Boys
Ryan McCready 7:47

And well done Tom on your 150th parkrun!
Waterworks parkrun:
Nuala Muldoon 24:09, Michael McFarlane 24:50, Claire McCann 27:32PB
Victoria parkrun:
Neil McCready 19:33PB
Well done Neil – a lot of hard work has paid off with an amazing sub 20 time. PB smashed.
Antrim parkrun:
Alan Kerr 27:10, Tina Steele 29:11, Deborah Ewing 29:12
Queens parkrun:
Elaine Kennedy 47:16
Wallace parkrun:
Dermot HOTM Boyd 31:57, Anne Boyd 43:43
And ADav appeared at the Valley 28:00
There was a big fight on this week for the parkrun tourist crown. Aidy Hughes had a bit of a go with Dungannon parkrun in 26:06. Then Maeve Dunseath tried with Portrush in 26:57. The Donaldsons, obviously, were back at it, this time in Pensacola, Florida. Danny in 21:46 and Tiffany in a not always vertical 39:00. But the winner should be Sarah Ross who has finally found a parkrun in New Zealand. Sarah completed the Western Springs parkrun near Auckland in 24:56
Auckland is built on over 50 volcanos and has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world but the best thing I know about Pensacola is that they have a minor league baseball team called the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Class. Pensacola wins.
Waterworks junior parkrun:
Joseph Eager 9:34
Jordanstown junior parkrun:
Rhys Kerr 15:51
Another event taking place both yesterday and today (and possibly tomorrow) is the Atlas Running Last One Standing Ultra at Castle Ward.
Representing our headers division was Hilary Faith. Hilary completed 38 miles in the event. Amazing. Big respect Hilary.
So, this week’s tune is for Hilary and all those who were, or still are, running at Castle Ward.
And no, I didn’t pick the Elton John song that has Bruno in the video. This song is better. Fact.
Until next week, behave.
