I think that they are trying to get the slowest time ever at a parktin. Its not even like everybody got a bad time as the first two finishers were OK. I am not fit but I think even I could beat that!tractakid wrote:I hear it is easy to get lost!greatkingrat wrote:Did they stop and have a picnic half way round or something?

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Thanks to my current work shifts, my Parkrun debut is delayed indefinitely just gives me more time to practise I suppose...

That's about 1.5 miles per hour I reckon you could do it faster on your hands and knees!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I wonder what the slowest 1st place time is and what's the fastest last place time?

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Good run today, everything was feeling pretty good so I decided to push it at Hove Park.
End result was 36th place and a new PB of 20:38 with age graded of 72.05%.
Really pleased with that, 47 seconds quicker than my previous PB. It's going to be hard to make any further improvements now!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Well done, old man.
I took seven seconds off my course best at Mount Edgcumbe, but it's still tough going up that bloody hill. Still, I'm second in the male point table after four events, and have scored the most run points of anyone. My competitive nature may prevent me from going anywhere else for a while, in order to finish in the top three next January.

I think Aldenham may be the first venue I have returned to and not beaten the previous time.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
OK, all updated and I think everything is correct.
PBs and CBs everywhere today - too many to mention. Soup Dragon and DrainBrain move up the table with their improved times. I'll be happy just to get under 26 minutes at Mount Edgcumbe!
