Because I am in Llandudno and I'm not missing the chance to do Conwy parkrun, and I also want to do it at MK.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Funnily enough, I matched your previous PB today, at 25:13.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
OK, the spreadsheet is updated for this week:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
One PB this week for Tractakid, although Going Underground is now the holder of the most unique venues visited, with 34 to Tractakid's 32. Interestingly, although TK got a PB time his age-graded percentage didn't increase. I assume this is to do with his age being larger than when he set his last PB of 25:13.
No PB for me this week. I think I need to use my non-trail running shoes to get more bounce, and I couldn't use them this week due to a rain storm which turned the meadow into a mud-fest once more. Next week, maybe!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
What to believe? A PB anyway at "Run for Nepal" day at Northala
Showing finish as 137 in 30:14 (51.71%), but i was given token 138 logged timed at 30:31 either way is a PB and as we were fairly spread out I finished with nobody around me so hard to tell from the times

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
No fewer than eight tube forum members were out running this weekend, including the lesser-spotted Ric Brackenbury of all people.
GU's time shows in the results for Northala Fields as 30:14, so that's what he's credited with here. They obviously spotted an anomaly with the tokens when they were collating the results, and corrected his position accordingly. That's the only PB this week, which moves him slightly above Tractakid in terms of age-grading.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Incidentally, as you lot move up an age group can you let me know, as I don't check it every week when I update the stats. Maybe I should do so, as not everyone on the list is on the forum these days, so won't be able to tell me. But if you do grow up, let me know.
