It was the
JP Morgan chase corporate challenge last night so a team of 7 from JG towers
donned trainers and Lycra shorts and headed for Battersea Park
for the 5.6k race. Some put in more training than others! Marissa is a keen
runner and can often be spotted running around Hyde Park,
while Jason’s training was slightly less intense, his mantra being ‘thou shalt
not drink for 5 days before the race’!
Here we are
pre-race:
Competition
was fierce and not because the other 20,000 runners but because our US sisters, Firstgiving, had completed the race
in Boston with excellent
times last month. So who won? …..Drum roll please.
….And the
winners are Firstgiving with 4 runners coming in with and average of
29min.24sec.
Justgiving
with 7 runners had an average of 34min.22sec.
The winner
of the men’s was Firstgiving’s James with an impressive 24.27
The winner
of the women’s was Justgiving’s Marissa with 28mins.
Congratulations
to Firstgiving!
Here they are celebrating their victory:
And finally… may I suggest Jono wears a size bigger?!
and he wasn’t even posing!
