Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Short of stacking it, just about everything that could've gone wrong with that run did go wrong. My knee injury flared up, the heat was unbearable, my double-knotted shoelaces came undone and my left foot started going numb on the home straight!
Holder of the slowest recorded 274 attempt: 4 months, 1 day, 9 hours, 17 minutes, 32 seconds.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I went to Darley (in Derby) today, and had the dubious privilege of meeting tractakid, who came along too. Nice course, and I did my fourth-best time of 23:27. Happy with that.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Yes, Darley's an interesting one. I was speaking to the ED after you'd left and he confirmed it's not moving back to Darley Abbey Park, and the parkrun will be known as Markeaton parkrun in due course. So don't be confused if you look back at your results history one day and see a random parkrun you haven't been to there.tubeguru wrote:I went to Darley (in Derby) today, and had the dubious privilege of meeting tractakid, who came along too.

palkanetoijala31 and I were at Southsea today. It was very warm and humid. So much so that I walked part of the way home before I realised that I'd left my jacket behind, and I had to go back and get it.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
I don't often get photographed when doing Parkrun, but here's one my wife took as I went past on lap 1 of Darley (soon-to-be-Markeaton) Parkrun at the weekend. I'm the one at the front, winning.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
From Saturday 4th June until Easter 2017
Due to the problems with parking at Penrose Hill, the National Trust have asked us to change the course until they can enlarge the car park. This won't be completed until Easter 2017 and so, from 4 June, we will be starting from the Fairground car park end of the Penrose Estate. This is opposite the boating lake, next to Flora Motors, post code TR18 0RA.
This is a temporary 5k out-and-back route, along the tarmac path, which is as good as flat compared to our course at the moment. I think everyone could be getting a PB the first time they run this!
So for approx 10 months we will be going from one of the toughest parkruns to one of the easiest.

Seriously considering driving down, even though it will take me an hour and 45 minutes ...
