Right, put myself down to volunteer on 25/04, so 100th run should now be 09/05. Only two weeks later than originally expected lol

No Parkrun for me today - I am aching all over from three days of CrossFit in a row, and I ache like hell all over.

Good time today, but not a PB.
Not that it really matters to anyone here except me, but Southsea parkrun reverts to its official course next week after the reopening of the South Parade Pier awning.

I am sat with the Whitley Bay crew who are having to input all times manually from an iPhone after a timer problem! I don't envy the task. I believe I am just shy of a PB
We'll see.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Heard the token role briefing at Whitley Bay specifically advise not worrying if tokens were dropped and just carry on.***** wrote:Should have been at Gunnersbury, where the token-giver-outer person dropped some of the finish tokens, and instead of leaving them (which can be fixed easily) picked them up and in a panic gave them out in the wrong order. DOH! Some people have got PB's then the shouldn't, some didn't get one when they should!! MESSY...tractakid wrote:I am sat with the Whitley Bay crew who are having to input all times manually from an iPhone after a timer problem! I don't envy the task.

But... I definitely think the staff member issuing tokens should be docked their wages...
