So you did, but as you've already done that time, it doesn't count as a "new" PB.
Well, it certainly hasn't been one week since I ran a PB...
For the purposes of my table, "PB" means "New PB", and must be faster than your previous PB. That's the rules. :lol:
Well, my newest run was a PB! I don't like the rules :P
It's still been a week since your PB as you only Equaled it and not set a new one.
They are both PBs. if someone were to ask me which one was the PB, I'd call them silly, as they both are.

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

The point is I did run fast- the fastest I ever had!

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.

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!

It's always good when the results are problem free.

Here's the latest update: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Bloody Soup Dragon's gone and knocked me back down a place, having overtaken him last time out! I may return to Exeter at the weekend to try to get my revenge, but I'll need to run 47 seconds faster than I've ever done before! Watch this space ... :lol:

Having said that, parkrun really isn't about beating each other, or getting revenge.

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.

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.

Sorry Neil... I'm not competitive either :-)
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.

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. :)

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.

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.
