Mount Edgcumbe, presumably.

I've decided that one of my parkrun objectives for 2016 is to do every parkrun in Hampshire. That means I'll have to do Queen Elizabeth at some point.

Yes, Mount Edgcumbe where I managed a course best today. Still slow though. :-)

You finished third from last according to the results.
Technically yes but I was told to finish ahead of the volunteers

That's a very fast last-place finish. it rarely goes under 40 minutes and has been almost two hours...

That's the weirdest set of results I've ever seen.

Not much to say about this week. A couple of course-bests, a PB finishing position, and that's it.

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!

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!

I wonder what the slowest 1st place time is and what's the fastest last place time?
