I’m a mid pack runner (or firmly back of the pack in the few fell races I’ve done 🤣) so like to see % of the field as a stat to challenge myself.
My best position is 9/73 (12%) at Ford so well chuffed with that.
Highest % though was Bedford 26/306 (8%) 🤗

My best position was 6/24 (24%) at Darndale, I was a little disappointed as I got there the same week as a local running club (I was second in my age category at that parkrun to the fastest parkrunner in all of Ireland that day) and one week earlier my time would have seen me on the podium.
My best UK position was from South Oxhey where I was 7/43 (16%), which was the joint smallest field I've run in the UK, alongside Bevendean.
My best position percentage was 29/392 (7%) when I set my PB at Walsall
My worst position was 998/1331 (75%) at Bushy.

When I ran Bushy I did sub-20 and was something like 50th! My lowest position would be fwhen tailwalking

I've had a couple of top 3 woman places, at my local. And something pretty respectable at south Oxhey

ref Tailwalking:
The first time I did tailwalking wasn't too bad as I was able to jog a little. The second time I did it I was struggling to walk as slow as the last couple. It was so agonisingly slow that I felt it better to leave that role to someone else. I am happy to pace at 40 but that's about my limit of slowness.

My POOR score is poor 6/12. I tend to regularly go to our 2 local events. I planned to do more tourism last year but that didn't happen. I have a list of events to visit.

I finished first for the only time in a parkrun at Chaddy Hall only to be handed token 301. The core team had forgotten the tokens and had to go to the backups which were in the kit bag.
Oh how my best friend (the ED) laughed.

We forgot our tokens for our first junior event this year! Ended up handing 221 to the first finisher, as we still had the higher numbers in the bag.

And I've been first female finisher. In a time where at other parkruns I haven't even been the first Louise, but I still count it...

My times/finishing positions are all over the place and not just because of variable fitness. I have paced everything from 25 to 40 minutes and been tail walker a few times, so no idea what my average finishing time would be if I pushed it every week.
