Well Harcourt Hill had 154 at the inaugural event, and has dropped off since. So I don't think that was your smallest first one.

A world record for Plymvalley getting their results uploaded today! I took five seconds off my PB for this course, and did 23:59. Hopefully I can now start making inroads towards 23:00 here.

Nice running Neil. Back of the pack for me on tail running duty. But a new PB for Matthew completing Penrose in 28:24.

Fun little run today. Southsea Rowing Regatta taking place meant a course change that included three laps of about 0.5K each around the edge of Castle Field (a locally well-known event field). Amazing to see the entire field encircled by runners.

Slow times this week and last. Simply too hot for anything faster.

Not a Parkrun but did a 5k sat evening in 25:09 so getting back to form this was after a 2.5 mile warm up.

Only one PB, from Matthew Cook, but he needs almost three minutes to move up another position. :)

I didn't get an overall PB, but I got a course PB, which has given me an idea ...

OK, I've added a third sheet to the spreadsheet which lists everyone's individual course PB for each Parkrun they have run.

The names are listed in order of overall PB, which means that each person's first-listed course should have their overall PB next to it. Hopefully that makes sense. Where a runner has achieved their overall PB at two or more courses (as tractakid has), then the courses are listed in order of number of runs, fewest first.

Which set me onto another idea - I've created a fourth sheet, in which I have listed the courses on which more than one person has run, so you can see how people compare to each other on the same course. Courses are listed alphabetically, and each one is sorted by fastest person. Self-explanatory, really.

You're right. That was the one I missed. It's updated now.

OK, errors fixed, and tables updated. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Going Underground moves one ahead of tractakid in terms of different courses run, and his time at Wycombe Rye is his fifth best overall, one second slower than his Harrow time. No PBs at all yesterday, and some people need to sort themselves out and get out there running again. :)

Dudey is now only four runs away from his 50 T-shirt, too I notice.

Talking of 50 t-shirts mine arrived Sat lunchtime so will be getting a run out next week :P

Wycombe Rye was a very nice course, flatter than I imagined and around 20% grass, 80% paths so pretty pleased with the time :)
