The Nationwide Race So in preparation for the 2018 GoodGym Olympics I decided to try and host an event that all folks across the GoodGym community could be involved with. This was not a race on the track but wherever you wanted to do it. The rules were simple, plan a 1 km route record it on Strava and you were in with a chance of winning. So not only were there prizes for speed but also the following: • The Bolters – awarded to the quickest individual male and female • The Climber - the runner with the highest overall elevation • The Viewfinder - for the runner who likes a view (or pun). The prize will go to the runner who attaches the best photo with their run (please include the word photo in your run title) • The Artist - the runner who can make the best outline of their run (i.e. does your route look like the GG symbol, if you enter this please include the word Artist in the title) • The Raffler - who doesn't love a raffle? One lucky runner will be picked at random and they too will be a winner. Who knows - it could be you!
You had a week to get your jogs in and when I was finally sent the results and have to say was blown away by the level of participation, over 120 entry, ranging from all over country from Sheffield, Cardiff and York. It was cracking to see some many different type of runs and thank you for giving it a go, nice one!! So without further ado, I would like to announce the results. The Bolters: The Bristol Bullet: Matt Garnet did it in 177 seconds The Sheffield Hot-Shot: Susan Gillie did it in 215 seconds The Climber: There was some steep competition here, South London is lumpy, Bristol is bumby but it would appear that Sheffield is steep whereby he managed an amazing 252 meter climb in a KM. He doesn’t just deserve a medal but a magnum too. (Apologies to Bristol’s Paul Becker who I announced as the original winner, due to an admin error he had come second very sorry Paul) The Viewfinder: Oh you lot do find some nice runs, there were some great shots, some highly commended efforts by: Laura Grassick for a lovely river shot,. The climber Tom Harman had a cracking view of the peek district and another nice view from Susan Gillie and Laura Grassick, Chi caught the sun, Katie Carew-Robinson had a cracking GG group shot, but the overall winner was Stephen Gilmer and team Sheffield Group GG shot, what a corker. Nice one Sheffield.
The Artist – Now its not just about the views its how you run too and there was some cracking shapes created by your stroll. Again Sheffield nearly had a clean sweep with some fantastic Olympic rings. Cara Nicol fully embraced the GG logo, Frances Collier-Wright did a nice flower, Hanna made a cracking fish and Kim Longbon drew something a bit naughty. But leading the charge was London finest running artist James Kerry Barnard with an elaborate angry face, the attention to detail was very impressive, well done.
So all that is left is the one we have been waiting for, everyone love it, thata right a raffle so everyone who entered get a place in the raffle. So the lucky winner is Peter Van Tongeren, a medal will be making its way to you shortly. Thank you all and well done again, nice one, Tom Results (applogies about the formmatting I am looking at getting this resolved asap):
