Tube Challenge parkrun league...

[dstock17]

I always consider it a z but it gives me the opportunity to go back to Poland I guess. I always be the first full ponty no one can take that away from me.

[Soup Dragon]

Andi#s done it too, but Zary has an accent above the Z which now makes it not acceptable for the alphabet

Ah that makes sense if a little harsh... I suppose you have to be consistent though

You have to remember that all of the challenges are un-official and not endorsed by parkrun.
parkrun corrected the spelling from Zary to Żary, which is what it porbably should have been from the start.
Anyone who ran it when it was still Zary, fair enough if they want to count it, but in the end of the day the challenges are all just personally meaningful and not the end of the world.

Quite, they're unofficial, but having said that it isn't recognised now as a Z by the (unofficial) browser add on, which is widely used. There was a lot of frustration on the facebook groups about that, as although it too is unofficial, it's got a certain weight behind it due to the numbers using it.

Cranleigh wasn't too cross-country when I did it a few weeks ago, but that's a good time on quite a twisty course

Finally managed to get back to doing Parkruns and did Brockwell this morning. Nice course with some undulations but a combination of tiredness in the legs from work, searing heat and making the extremely stupid rookie mistake of not taking in any liquids before running meant for my slowest Parkrun time ever of 27:28. Still, good to be running again after a few weeks out

My bloody knee I have done something bad to it can't cope with this calf pain either as over compensating not good times for my running but another in South West done next week another South West thornbury

[Iain]

Quick trip to Tilgate, which is a gorgeous park with a lake and forest trails, although a lot of the course is on tarmac. Unusual in that a quick section is on a road into the carpark/elsewhere within the park, and there's a couple of marshalls to hold traffic. First time also I've heard a tape loop (probably digital tbh) with instructions about dogs on leads etc. and what seemed to be a rap about parkrun.

About 600 people today on the 1.5 lap figure of eight course. I was too hot so headed home, but there were good refreshment facilities too.

After my recent bit of tourism I was looking at my nearest event not done yet which is Tamar Trails 66 miles away. Or in my case train, bus and a run to get there.
Edit actually Coach at 3:45, train ,bus then walk. So is doable if I fancy pulling my carcass out of bed at 2:45 in the morning.

St Alban's for me this week, then Tonbridge the week after for my 100th location if anyone fancies coming along?

Message to remind me Shame would have joined you as St Albans 40 mins for me in the car

[Iain]

Was going to do it the other way round, but it's tricky for Andy.

Going to reduce my touristing after that - fancy a few weeks with more of my Saturday free
