I had to pass Kevin twice - just after I passed him the first time I had to go back for my dropped water bottle, then pass him again

You were trolling him right?
"Oh, I've just dropped my water bottle", "Oh no, my shoelace has come undone", "Need a quick rest here ..."

I wasn't, but it's a fun idea. I'm not sure I'd sacrifice a faster time for it though

But it would be fun to see his face every time you stopped and ran back past him again.

Good runs all around from most at Hackney Marshes and a great pre-R15 turnout to boot. I'm into the 20s and my year-end target of sub 20 is still on. Let's party!

As I was doing the table I was wondering if we'd have the first ever day where everyone ran at an event which started with the same letter.
But no - Geoff and al ruined it. Every run had an H in it somewhere, at least. Anyway, everyone seems to go fast at Hackney Marshes, and Al is under 30 minutes now.

Yep Hackney is pancake flat and was first time I had managed a sub 31 since August 2015

First time I've recorded a sub 30 at a parkrun since 2006

Sorry to ruin your H full house, Tubeguru! I didn't fancy running at Hanley this week
It was our first time with pacers this week, which I found invaluable in getting below the 30 minute mark. It also helped that conditions were perfect (5°C, dry underfoot and not raining). Interestingly, it was 365 days since my first Parkrun. I've got James in my sights now!

I've got you and then James in my sights, followed by Glen. There's a bit of a gap between Glen and the runner ahead of him (Steveo).
I'm starting to wonder if it might be possible to beat my 2006 PB

Tough course for a fast time - lots of turns and slippy in places. Nice run though even though it was slower than last week
