A problem with Southsea's results this week. The Facebook page says there's a problem with the software that gets the times from the stopwatches. No results yet.

This week's update is done. Unless Southsea's results for yesterday appear on the website DrainBrain won't be credited with running it, as the spreadsheet has to mimic the official website's results. It becomes very hard to maintain and audit the spreadsheet if I credit people with runs they've done but which don't officially appear. Sorry folks.

As it stands, GU gets the best streak back, but DrainBrain will retake it with +16 if Southsea get their stopwatch download working.

Meanwhile, GU is one run off 200, and Geoff is three away. GU is also one run away from 100 unique courses run. Finally, a PB for crypto as he creeps up on Rik.

Southsea results have now been posted, so everything should be OK.

Also, I've noticed that my number of venues should be 44, as on http://www.parkrun.org.uk/results/mostevents/

I just took a look at the Eastbourne (aka Beachy Head) marathon course. It's pretty hilly. Well done on finishing.

I found this quite fascinating, and after I saw that my home course was in the "tougher" half of the table, I thought I would compare the home runs of all the tube challengers, to see if you lot were having an easier time of it than me :wink:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

The result was, yes, mostly you are :P . Only Crunchy Saviour has a (much) tougher home course than I. I obviously appreciate that although Southsea is flat that the wind may slow you down slightly, but I wanted to see how we compared gradient wise :)

FYI, Parkrun does not (to my knowledge) publicly show your home course, so I looked at the results for the course most frequently run. A couple of people (highlighted) looked like they may have switched their home course recently so I took that instead, and another couple had only run once at different courses (differently highlighted), so judgement calls made there also.

As has been mentioned before by nozza, I'm pleased Lanhydrock is not my local!
