I know, god it was cold that day! It’s still my mile PB (despite having whole run 5Ks at a faster pace 😂)

Congratulations to the team at Exeter Riverside yesterday - both stopwatches failed for some reason to upload the results, so two volunteers entered 400+ results manually! HQ told them they could set everyone's results to 59:59 but they made sure people had the right times. 'Above and beyond' award for them :-)

What good people at Exeter Riverside for making the effort. It's a nice spot for a run. My OH ran her fastest parkrun there.

Manual reading from displays?

Well done ndellar bunting

This week, I remembered to get scanned; and also handed last week's token back in.

There's was a women's obstacle course race in the park, overlapping with parkrun. It did not look very thrilling (apart from the big waterslide). The two coexisted ok, though it would have been nice if people going to the ocr start had not been walking five and six abreast across the last section in the parkrun course.

Lines- we had a timer malfunction a couple of months back when the bottom literally fell put of it so although it had the times on it we couldn't download. I'm guessing Exeter manually clicked through all the displayed times off the screen & input them. As others said - definitely an above & beyond award.
