Tube Challenge parkrun league...

[Soup Dragon]

5 of us tube challengers at Dartford heath soup dragon we have a new person to add to the list. What an exhausting Parkrun I busted my gut around the course despite losing the lead at 1 point I retook the lead and held it until the end for my 1st ever 1st position the feeling when u cross the line and you know ur the 1st is amazing something I don't think I ever get the chance again.

Who is the new person to add Andi? Let me know and I will add their results.

Because I was running with the dog I sacrifices a start position to go at the back soon realised this was a mistake as me and finlay zoomed through the field I think if I had run alone I might have won 2 weeks in a row but never mind doggy had nice run.

[Das]

Assuming it's not cancelled again! Weather forecast looks good though.

It wasn't! Windy as hell but apart from that really springlike, An absolute gem of a course, and the warm, friendly team. Plus two cakes, the real Cass Castleton and a woman singing show tunes rather breathlessly just behind me.

We ended up in the same pub as when we did Ellenbrook, and it wasn't great. One of the most expensive 'spoons I've been in, one person serving in spite of a long queue, similar at the coffee machine, and I had to borrow another table's condiments. Shame.

Yep don't go to St Albans spoons course was great made some good friends reasonable time considering the mud and the hills sorry Kevin took another gold off you. Strange coincidences at this firstly we chatted to a girl on train who was going to St Albans but decided to join us then she saw her friends on train who strangely going to same Parkrun so we made a lovely group.

Then as the first timer briefing she says where you from I say Bournemouth girl next to me says I'm from Bournemouth so chatting to her I find she is the rd of Upton house Parkrun the very people I sent an email to only 5 days ago about volunteering for juniors she couldn't believe it nor could I

And I also made the top 100 in the world for different Parkruns not bad for someone who really only started beginning 2016

Decided on Houghton Hall this morning as I could drive past the cheap Asda fuel station to fill up

sorry Kevin took another gold off you.

Jersey Farm wasn't on the medals table yet, so technically Kevin didn't lose a Gold, he actually gained a Silver
