Tube Challenge parkrun league...

[Going Underground]

Well as common now trying to find differant ones and people willing to go along is getting more difficult so the decision was made by me for black park

I would have met you there if I had known, have done Black Park with several people before as is only 25 mins journey for me

Weekly Update 28/09/19

14 Runners this week (still very impressive, given the horrible weather)
2 new courses (Gloucester North & Squerrys Winery)

Sam had a PB finish of exactly 100th at Gloucester North, in a SB time of 43:49
Crunchy Saviour ran a SB of 21:31 at Rushmere
Soup Dragon claimed a CB at Peacehaven in 21:12

A few medals changed hands in course wars:
At Black Park, Andi now claims GOLD, tractakid slips to SILVER and Geoff to Bronze, leaving GU out of the medals.
At Peacehaven, Soup Dragon and Andi switch places, Soup now with GOLD and Andi with SILVER.
At Dartford Heath, Geoff claims SILVER, so Iain is now BRONZE, and GU loses another medal.

That's all for this week, I'm at Upton House on Saturday, ahead of the Bournemouth HM on Sunday

Knocked 41 seconds off my PB earlier today, and my wife wasn't even volunteering at the course for me to show off to!

Was off sick from work yesterday, but I was hoping to get to parkrun this morning. I woke up and decided it wasn't the best idea. Sad to miss the 15th birthday, but I think it was a wise move

Only good news was that Bushy didn't beat their own record - which I thought they might - so pleased to be at Bedfont in the end

The good thing is that Mr sinton hewitt was there which means he repeated only one ahead now. I went to pomphrey hill and boy is that a slippery hill three times hardly any traction but enjoyed the course if not the slow runners in front who hampered my time by a minute

[tractakid]

I enjoyed a fantastic midweek parkrun in Germany at Neckarufer, Esslingen. The Wasserhaus bridge was a brilliant, unique course future and the event director was so kind as to give all the tourists there guided tour of Esslingen in the afternoon. It's a wonderful old town.

On Saturday, a much overdue revisit to Rushmere with lots of friends but sadly no CrunchySaviour this week.

Thanks! It's my 7th PB since May, I'm really enjoying it!

[Sam]

Slightly longer than a Parkrun, but did anyone enter the London marathon ballot? Anyone get in?

I applied, and got rejected, probably for the best

[Steeevooo]

I've applied yet again, still waiting to see if its 15th time lucky or not though...

I've never done a marathon but might apply to do Brighton next year.
I enjoyed the Bournemouth Half Marathon on Sunday and was very happy with my time 1h 33m 24s
I'm not sure even I'm ready for a full Marathon yet, I'd need to step up the training for sure!
Good to see you parkrunning regularly now Sam, hope that you are enjoying your running?

Good luck. That’s a brilliant time for a half!

I am trying to Parkrun a bit more, might have to give Saturday a miss as I’m feeling really unwell today, will see how I am nearer the time.

Have signed up for a 10k at the end of November so would like to get a bit quicker.
