Parkrun - January 1st 2012
Sunday, January 1st, 2012A unique opportunity today to run 3 parkruns in one day - Bushy at 9am, Nonsuch at 10am, and Riddlesdown at 11am. About 20 people did the triple, which necessitated some rather spritely driving in order to make the next event! From the comments afterwards, the coffers of Her Majesties’ Government may well be bolstered by a few speeding tickets!
First up was Bushy where Jon paced Mel (and Georgie!) to a new pb, while y.t. got “chicked” but had a solid first run.

Next up at 10am was Nonsuch Park, a scant 10 miles away - but as everyone observed afterwards, the various SatNav systems in use were thoroughly outplayed by the people who cycled between Bushy Park and Nonsuch. Yes, cycled. And one of those people then won at Nonsuch!

Finally, and with much limping and creaking of joints was the mudbath of Riddlesdown Park. Almost everyone doing the triple was late… but somehow the cyclists beat us again. Hmmm. Human Brain 1, SatNav nil.
The time from Riddlesdown is a bit deceptive, as many people think that the course was about 100m short.
