Alexandra Park 5k
FOR MATHS undergraduate, Chris Munro, it was a matter of just six seconds. But that was enough to give the Stubby a 5km personal best at the Alexandra Park 5km in Manchester.
Chris, who is studying at the city's university, clocked an impressive 20min 31sec for the multi-lap event which he regularly participates in.
At every race, Chris has been slowly chipping away at his pb, and now maybe a sub-20 minute best is in sight. "The weather the night before was terrible," said Chris. "Luckily, on the day the weather wasn't too bad, just loads of leaves everywhere and, of course, it was cold."
A mark of the competition was that GB international Rebecca Lynne took part in the event and finished third.
