Tube Challenge parkrun league...

[A Challenge]

Was that your first inaugural today Neil?

Yes, although we didn't have the local MP. Not that I'd want to see him anyway, given he's a Tory.

Anyway, the run director is usually involved with Plymvalley, but has branched out to start running this one instead.

Just because a MP is an MP for one party, it doesn't mean they aren't a nice person or that they voted for thief party in past elections. Incidentally, my local MP is a Tory as well!

This isn't the politics thread.

OK, another week and I think the weather affected everyone to some degree today. It was so windy on the very highest point of our course that I couldn't actually breathe properly, but I did overtake a small boy - he was too light to make headway!

Anyway, a couple of new courses this week, and a PB for jamesthegill, who moves ahead of Going Underground, and under 30 minutes. Das didn't run, so Soup Dragon and me take over with the longest run streaks. Incidentally, both of us scored our highest finishing positions today - there were only 36 runners at Mount Edgcumbe, so I found myself at the front all the way round. The first finisher's time is my usual sort of time on a flattish course, so things must have been bad!

The wind was incredible down on the Sussex coast, it even blew me sideways for a stride or two
I think you mean Andi joins you with run streak of +3 which is also my current run streak as well.... (shows +2)

Windy at Southsea too (when is it not?) but we did avoid the rain.

I've also run each of the last three weeks.

Shame that a woman older than you finished ahead of you though, eh?!

Well spotted. All adjusted.

She is a bloody good runner, and as thin as a rake. I'd love to be as fast as her.
