Instead of moaning about it, why don't you just run faster?

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
The training earlier this week paid off, a new PB of 22:09, very pleased with this time. The next park run for me should be in six weeks time.
One day I shall return!

I enjoyed run directing at MK this morning- we had someone complete their 250th parkrun and there weren't any problems to sort out with the results!

Alas not the case in Southsea this week. I had token 117 and my watch time was 25:27; result was 110th in 25:54.nozzacook wrote:It's always good when the results are problem free.
When I was in the funnel it was easy to see there was some problem with the finish tokens, but I'm not sure exactly what it was.

Just so your chart is up to date I'm now in the VM50-54 category so also have a new age graded PB of 66.59%
Good luck with trying to gain revenge and the extra 47 seconds required, I will have my next crack at a PB in 6 weeks time.
One day I shall return!

Table updated - that puts you second overall in the age-graded table. I can't see myself getting 47 seconds this weekend, but one may as well try.Soup Dragon wrote:Sorry Neil... I'm not competitive either![]()

Only one PB this week - scrxisi gets down to 25:12. I didn't go to Exeter this week, so no chance of getting Soup Dragon back.
I was only 16 seconds off my course PB for Plymvalley though, with 24:20, so not too bad after two weeks off.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
This weekend I'm going to attempt to get to Exeter Riverside. I have 18 mins to get from St David's Station to the start of parkrun so will be tight.
