Flanker7 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Welcome back Barnie. I was beginning to think I was the only one left. We've delayed our holiday just to get 100 runs in before the jacket award is removed. That sounds really bad but there are other reasons! . . honest? But thereafter, we are away for 6 weeks int' the Motorhome and there aren't any parkruns in Spain - boo. It'll also play havoc wi' Jantastic but I'm hoping to keep those runs going. So who will post the attendances when I'm gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wait, they're stopping the jacket award? You mean, the 100 park runs t-shirts will be no more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 They've stopped the jacket - but you still get a 'T'. The jacket will become a icon to parkrun pioneers. (almost) Just like the disc 250 'T' which is being replaced by an ordinary 250 number 'T'. Just like the 10, 50, & 100. The Pirate - 97 runs ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnie41 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'll post the attendances while you're away Flanker if you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winemaster Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There was two Park runners at Clifton last Saturday that were sporting there 100 Jackets just as the run director was getting my 50 shirt out of the bag to make sure it was the right size and I commented about the Jackets being no more to which he replied, they are still available but only until they run out (no pun intended).

Flanker7 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 parkrun GB newsletter 6th Feb 2014 brought us the news. http://www.parkrun.org.uk/news/ 29th March is the deadline although, as you say, its 'while stocks last' after that. I was very nervous that Donny would be called off last week but they came through and run 97 was secured. A twinge in the left thigh will not stop me.

sharpend Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 So - where have all the Park runners gone from SF? I've not been able to do PR since the end of January and will be back at Graves Park a week on Saturday. Missed my Saturday routine run. Still here - still splashing round Rother valley - but since it was decreed it was outside sheffield and doesn't show up on the weekly totals - feel a bit like I am in the wrong end at a football match...

Flanker7 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 No wrong ends at parkrun. One big family Current Rotherham United Record 18-01-14 - RV=101 + R=55 Total 156 25th Jan----RV=114 + R=31 - Total 145 1st Feb-----RV = 89 + R=41 - Total 130 8th Feb-----RV = 95 + R=44 - Total 139 15th Feb----RV = 69 + R=30 - Total 99 Rotherham parkruns appear to be picking up and this last weekend is the first time they have been below three figures since the beginning of the year. I'm coming to RV next week (1st) to complete my South Yorks Region full set. Is the car parking working ok with the barcode getting us in 'gratis'. What's the chance of a fast time, even with the splashy conditions. Donny was a write-off on wet grass but I'm thinking the surface there will be okay, under the water?

Whoosh77 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm coming to RV next week (1st) to complete my South Yorks Region full set. Is the car parking working ok with the barcode getting us in 'gratis'. What's the chance of a fast time, even with the splashy conditions. Donny was a write-off on wet grass but I'm thinking the surface there will be okay, under the water? The free car parking works fine at RV. Just show your barcode to the gent operating the barrier, although the last time I ran RV no-one was in the booth and the barrier had just been left open so you could drive through. A fast time? My RV PB is 2 min 24 secs faster than my Graves PB, and I even ran close to my PB in the splishy, sploshy conditions at RV a few weeks ago :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpend Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 yeah free up until 9am (or so I am told - I jog down) People report there is usually no one on the gate most of the time. Time comparison? Dunno - Although the course seems pan flat - the first 800 metres is deceptively uphill - it's usually very windy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
