Gotta love the parkrun age-grading! Fetch race standard gives me only 66.89% but 'You achieved an age-graded score of 70.02%' in my email. :-)

Interesting - I see a difference but it's much smaller than that

I got a slightly smaller difference (81.22 vs. 79.02). I assume this is because the standards for women of A Certain Age were revised upwards more as the increase in women of A Certain Age racing competitively is higher than for other groups.

There's also that LittleDonkeyDaisy's parkrun time is faster than her own including-phone-faffery time. And V'raps Fetch WAVA is based on a slightly short distance (4.96 km.

My Fetch WAVA is based on 5k and the same course measured 3.12 miles on my Garmin last weekend so I'm not accepting insinuations of short course skulduggery :P

Oops ~blushes~, no suggestion of deathduggery intended. I meant that as your distance for a legitimate 5K was recorded short by your Garmin your Fetch WAVA was underestimated.

But at that, I'd only looked at your training entry, rather than your race entry. Apologies.
