That one's in both Devon and Cornwall, isn't it?

Yes you start and do first half in Devon and return in Cornwall.

I can only imagine 1000 runners at Plymvalley. We'd never fit.

No Parkrun for me today the course at Penrose would have been horrendous. So went for a 7.5 mile run in quieter conditions.

Well, Plymvalley *was* horrendous. The "puddles" are now mini-lakes, especially in the dips in the meadow, and plenty of mud to be getting on with. I only did 25:31 today, but I did get a PB-finishing position of 28th. Managed to hold onto it for the whole of the last two kilometres, so I'm pleased with that.

And note for tubeguru, Andi forgot his barcode and was finishing token 268, one place and about 1 second behind me so OK to add this to the spreadsheet....

You don't get a time if you don't run, either! Which is your local parkrun?

OK, spreadsheet updated. Only one "PB", and that was my 28th place finish. Hardly setting the world on fire otherwise from anyone, the weather probably accounting for some average times today.
