Quite shocked to sneak a 70 wava at Conwy half today, despite having the Great Orme in the middle

Thanks for your kind words everyone.

Your being modest DocMoye, I notice in the results that you got a 73% WAVA at parkrun on Saturday. 👍 Well done.

Well done to bonners, great 🏃🏼‍♂️ running.

Well done David and bonners.

I managed at 71% at an icy Perth parkrun on Saturday. Really hoping to get higher up but pleased to be consistently over 70 at the mo. :-) G

well done 12bD and Bonners. I've done that Conwy half and can vouch for how hard that Great Orme section can be - well done for a superb result

HappyG, & there was I complaining about the cold on the South Coast on Saturday & you had 🧊 ice.

Now there’s a novelty, could you skate round parkrun & still be given a time?

Well done 👍 on your WAVA score. That was some run 🏃🏼‍♂️ as the conditions were that bad. I would have been tiptoeing around.

The course is 4km tarmac path and 1km mud. I wore my trail shoes as the mud section can be hard to get any grip and risk of slipping in the deepest mud. Well, that mud section was the easiest, as it was hard, frozen grass so full grip. Unlike the tarmac which as you say was an ice rink. I tried to find grass verges or leaves for grip if poss. But someone did 17 mins and the kids were just flying, so can't really use as excuse! :-) G

Anyone who gets a 70 wava on ice deserves double kudos. I'll run in just about any conditions, but ice is about the only time I'll contemplate a treadmill
