Today's post brought this - some compensation for the massive disappointment of being squeezed out of the GFA selection for Boston!

Are you the 1:20:02 in the 40-49 female category in the results, albeit with a very male sounding name? Oh well, I guess that's Brighton for you...

What a lovely event BG is. Slightly disappointed that the new sponsor (Dark Star) wasn’t obviously in evidence, and offering free samples (or even paid-for ones), but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it. Targeted 1:45 and ran with the really friendly and helpful pacer, who knew the course profile...

Same for me - just got the email. I really thought I might be in with a chance with 3:27 margin. Oh well, it’s Brighton again, or London if the ballot falls my way! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was the same at Swansea last year - I think life expectancy must be lower in South Wales....

That's depressing to hear. I also put an application in on Monday, and coincidentally, my buffer is also exactly the same as yours 3 min 27 sec (I'm in the 60-64 category). Fingers crossed!

There's a key sentence in there which could be taken in more than one way: "Wilf ..... wants to give the same opportunities to the next generation of aspiring players at Palace Ladies that he enjoyed when coming up through junior teams."

Well he’s now setting fire to stuff as well as dismantling the roof... you might want to work from home today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you think PP is awkward - I ran the parkrun at Seaton in Devon last Saturday- it starts on a pebble beach (similar to Brighton in consistency), and then runs along a narrow concrete esplanade, with two further beach sections during the run (both including 180 degree turns). I was reasonably...

Incidentally, from casual observation at numerous Preston Park Parkruns, Nicky is a good example of the high cadence, 'pitter patter' running style referred to in previous posts. She doesn't look fast, but she is.

Anything over five miles, I need to have eaten beforehand. Trouble is if I eat less than two hours beforehand I always feel a bit queasy, which means for my early morning winter Sunday long runs, or for races I have to get up at silly o’clock for a porridge to set me up for my run. For...

It's definitely the club to be in :), and all the competition then focuses on AG at 5k, rather than bothering about times per se.

"Sporting" in name only, it seems

I've had a quick skim of all the threads, and can't see anything problematic or libelous in any of them tbh. I understand Bozza's concerns, but think he might be being over-cautious in this case. All this is in the public domain, the bloke has never tried to conceal his real identity and he's...

I'm getting the Mac equivalent (Mackeeper or some such crap) popping up persistently on NSC for the last couple of days.

I’m out of the Phoenix 10k if England go through. It’s a real shame as I was really looking forward to the race, and I guess a shame for the organisers and Clocktower as there will be a lot of DNS on the night. I don’t even care that much about England going through, to be honest, but it’s still...

Yes, first time at Hove Park for me. Not a stunning performance, but as you say it was hot, so quite happy with 22:18 on a new course (and 73.17% and first in age category, which is all us greybeards care about really).
