A busy weekend for FODAC members as they competed in a number of events in the area (and afar).
First off was Kate Frost who competed in the ChillSwim Conniston in the lake district a grueling 5.25 mile open water swim. Kate completed it successfully in 3:40
On Sunday a large contingent of FODAC members competed in the Breinton 10m held in Hereford. Some great results were recorded in particular for the ladies. See separate post for full details and pictures.
A small group of the green and white army – Graham Bennetto, Marcus Bennetto, Wendy Lawrence, Eva Goodhead, Ivan Woodward – took part in the Ross 10K. The Ross 10k and Fun Run were started in 2011 to raise money for Acorns, the Children’s Hospice Charity, and to date over £5,000.00 has been raised by the event. Every penny of the registration fees goes directly to Acorns.

Tales of screaming women running from a naked man at this weeks Parkrun have been grossly exagerated.
