Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Early start for me today, heading up to Ipswich. I thought I'd left plenty of time, but a points failure part way meant we were over half an hour late. I run/walked across Ipswich and got there just as the briefing was starting, so success!
The run was a lot hillier than I expected for that part of the country, but an interesting course with an underpass and toilet on the route (I made use of the latter on the second lap). My hamstring issue is rearing its head again, so I may just break my streak next week. That's a U, J and I nailed in the last three weeks

Sorry to hear this, must be annoying if you have to miss one after over a year without missing one.
One day I shall return!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
A slightly calmer week, both in terms of weather and number of runners. Just 11 of us this week.
It was a fairly uneventful week with very little to report:
This weeks highlights
Andi hobbled to another top ten place, finishing 9th in Street in 21:26
Soup Dragon not far behind, set a CB and SB at Lancing Beach in 21:30
Tractakid sets the benchmark at the inaugural Watermeadows of 24:30
Geofftech claims a SB at Jersey Farm in a time of 29:56
Going Underground racks up 200 runs since his last PB
Greatkingrat has gone 150 weeks since his last run.
Iain's run at Ipswich puts it on the medals table, giving him Bronze. Andi and Geofftech take Gold & Silver from previous runs.
Geofftech also gains another Silver for his run at Jersey Farm, Going Underground drops into Bronze and Iain drops out of the medals.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I'm pleased to say that Watermeadows parkrun's defibrillator was provided by Linford Wood parkrun, after we were able to donate one following the successful rescue of a parkrunner last year. I was therefore present in order to take some promotional photos for Aero Healthcare to use of the handover.
Plus, I was invited
A long, two year setup process meant it was fantastic to finally see the parkrun taking place! The course is four laps of the meadowland, by the river. Scenic and has a lovely community feel as you can see a lot of other runners while completing the route.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I believe there's a new parkrun starting in Seaford (East Sussex) a week tomorrow - March 2nd.
There will be rail replacement buses running between Three Bridges & Brighton and Three Bridges & Lewes so plan ahead.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Today was much better could have taken the lead if a kid didn't lead me wrong at start lol. Was tentative today injury wise so took it conservative not knowing if I had same problems as last week fortunately no even had a good sprint finish must have been the tiger balm. Wotton Parkrun is one I would recommend for purists of visiting hard to get too without a car but small friendly and challenging especially muddy would be better in summer I reckon.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
My first inaugural and what a lovely run at California Country park. An unusually shaped course, pretty much flat and with a good mix of sections. I'd very much recommend a visit
