Could well have been - there were four or five went by in BHA shirts.
We had lots of fun on the water station including one other season ticket holder who I forgot to ask if they are on this thread?

Well many thanks to you all for the extra shouting. Always appreciated. It’s the whole reason I wear a club shirt rather than one with my name on. I’m fuelled by football chants.
It's about running and the day out not times. You're up at the top on here for your rhino efforts. Great runs by you and @butch Willykins beating the 3:30.
We did cheer every Albion shirt loudly, booed a Palace shirt and Ninja pointed out one blue and white stripes was Massive and we got a scowl in return.
Loved to be part of the day. Great atmosphere and love the new course and finish.
Well done to all the NSCers who ran the BM, and those who provided nourishment to the runners.
I ran the Paris marathon on Sunday (signed up back when the BM was in doubt), and absolutely loved it. Massive event (51k finishers), amazing route through all the landmarks of Paris and a good crowd. Hillier than Brighton, and plenty of horrible cobbles. Came in with a PB of 3:48:21 which I was chuffed with and which nicely renews my old git GFA for London and Boston

Gaffer, all being well, I will be running in the relays tomorrow for Run Academy Worthing but in the VM50 event. This is of course solely because I can then avoid you in the VM60 race.
Excellent be great to see you. 50's are running with the 60's, so same race. Do you know your leg? Love to chase the picture on my wall.

Rare trip to Hove Park parkrun for me this morning, managed my 2nd best parkrun time of 17:26 with a best ever age grading of 78.3% lovely conditions for running!
Good fun and atmosphere at the Sussex Athletics 2 mile Road Relays in Preston Park this afternoon.
Good to catch up with @GNT and great marshalling from @big nuts who put my normal "Come on boy it's a race" comment from Sunday's marathon behind him and cheered me on.
Difficult to know results and times (starting and ending Garmin whilst taking/passing a baton) but @GNT would have done me good and proper. I enjoyed the adrenaline of a 2 mile flat out and evenly paced each mile at about 6:50. Couldn't give anymore.

Cheers Gaffer. Yes, thanks to Big Nuts for his efforts that contributed to an excellent event. Some seriously talented runners on display. Not sure that doing a parkrun on the same day was a very bright decision. Looking forward to seeing the results and good to have an old git get together.
Funniest moment was the mighty John Lowden stepping towards you and saying I think I know you. You must have momentarily thought he was aware of your fantastic running deeds before he said "Did you use to work in Lloyds Bank?".
Got my running mojo back yesterday and looking forward to the next few months.

If I've found the correct results, You beat my 13:44 with a fine 13:23. I'm very happy with that outcome. To find it click the arrow next to U-11 girls and the other race categories appear.

PS Gaffer: having looked through the results I can see that you achieved your objective of beating the runners selected for the Arena 80 A line up. They won't make that mistake again......
Apart from JO of course.
Pointed out to the coach I should be in the A team and then nobly accepted the decision. Helped fire me up must admit.
Can understand the decision as based on 5k times in 2023 and I haven't raced one yet. 21:48 SB and that included stopping to tie up a lace.

Worthing PR. 20.27 in cold and windy conditions. Beat all the old gits (65s) and younger old gits (60s). AG of 84.35%.
Big turnout of c.500.

Nice Worthing runabout from the Champ on a day not particularly easy for running.
I went to Hove Prom a few days after an 18:36 5k achieved from 10 intervals and a 50 mph cross (SW) tailwind.
Today kept a tempo pace at 7:00 miles but at the final km my kick wasn't there and I stayed at same pace.
Happy with progress and a 21:44 at 75% is a stepping stone.
Body feeling good but after 3 weeks running and 30 miles I must be due an injury.
