bonners Nov 2019 9:28pm, 19 Nov 2019 1,451 posts	0 bonners Xc this week, not happening, still too knackered from Conwy half. But a last Borders League the week after, fingers crossed finish the year racing on a 70, then a brand new local parkrun the week after, again a 70 target. Then let the eating commence😁
NDWDave Nov 2019 7:13pm, 21 Nov 2019 10,685 posts	0 NDWDave 69.4% benchmark recorded on my lunchtime run. Not my fastest but I’m getting older so it slightly higher than my previous of 69.38% despite being 10 seconds slower over 5k
Autumnleaves Nov 2019 2:30pm, 24 Nov 2019 14,325 posts	0 Autumnleaves Just squeaked 70% at the Wilmslow 10k today. One positive - otherwise a bit disappointed with my time.
LazyDaisy Nov 2019 3:16pm, 24 Nov 2019 28,420 posts	0 LazyDaisy 70% is 70% AL, that deserves congratulations! (There were four of my clubmates running there today - did you see any Almost Athletes - purple vests? )

Chrisull Nov 2019 6:02pm, 24 Nov 2019 15,523 posts	0 Chrisull Well done AL, 70% is good. Today for me also disappointed with my time on a 5 miler, but 1 second faster than September on a harder course, so 71.10% for me today.

12barDavid Dec 2019 4:43pm, 15 Dec 2019 2,415 posts	0 12barDavid It was blowing a gale from the West at Worthing parkrun yesterday. It was the old story, I struggled into the wind till the 180 degree turn on the promenade & then got blown back to the finish line. I finished in 23:21 giving me a WAVA of 71%. I’m rather pleased with this considering the wind. Finally, a Merry Christmas 🎄 & a 😊 Happy New Year to everyone on this thread.
Goofee Dec 2019 5:13pm, 31 Dec 2019 2,962 posts	0 Goofee Thanks David! Sorry, I seem to have missed the above post at the time, but sounds like a tough one - I don't think the wind behind you gives an equivalent boost to the hindrance of running into it, so very well done! Well done also to all our 2019 seventy-percenters, celebrated in the side panel, especially those of you achieving 70% Fetch standard or better; Ally-C, Autumnleaves, bonners, Chrisull, DocMoye, Fenland Flier, HappyG(rrr), Jovi Runner, larkim, R4R & Velociraptor. Reaching 70% in one event is an excellent level of attainment for what is essentially a hobby, to reach that it three or more events in one year is a serious achievement and deserves recognition. Best wishes to all on the thread, whether you achieved your goals in 2019 or strived (strove? ) and fell short this time, best of luck in 2020!
