LOL what happened to the home run then :wink:
He wants to pull away from you. :)
Exactly my thoughts, I think he changed his plans when I mentioned I was Basingstoke bound at the R15 last week :wink:
Sneaky bugger.

I found at midweek there was a Cowell celebration/gathering going on at Luton, so caught the 99 bus there. There was lemon drizzle cake!

Nope, a 'Cowell' is named after Chris Cowell, the first parkrunner to run at 100 different parkrun venues.

Cracking time Nozza. I got a new age-graded PB, though not an absolute time PB.

Burgess is hilly by my standards. :)

It was nice to run a flat course and well done yourself for the age graded PB.

OK, the spreadsheet is updated. No run for me yesterday - the car's out of action, and I had no other way of getting there and back in the time available to me.

It looks like another forum day out, this time at Burgess. The only PBs were a time PB for Nozza (a big improvement), and an age-grading PB for DrainBrain. Hove Promenade comes off the list of Parkruns that only one person has done, as Geoff was down there.

I think everything is correct in the tables. I'm sure someone will notice if I missed something off.

Hove Promenade has more turnarounds though

Is the route more or less defined by the confines of the promenade then?

Not sure I understand the concept of "flatter than Southsea". :)

Faster than Southsea is something I get though. Basically, that's anywhere without strong winds.

I will almost certainly be there on 5th December.

Right then. Another weekend done, and a weekend of new courses for almost everyone. It would have been a new one for me too as I was up in London for the tattoo convention, but I didn't have enough time in my schedule to fit Southwark in before we needed to be there. I'll be back next weekend, and the start of a new "year" for Plymvalley - it was the third birthday run yesterday. I somehow managed to come 43rd in the points list for the nine months of this year that I've run so far. I'm aiming for the top 25 next year. :)

No PBs this week of any description, but three courses have come off the "list of runs done by one person" - Aldenham, Ashford, and Roundshaw Downs. Scrxisi is fast losing all his unique run courses. :)

Anyway, here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0
