Jovi Runner Mar 2019 7:12pm, 10 Mar 2019 5926 posts	0 Jovi Runner Ridiculously windy at Big Half & still nursing dodgy hamstring so didn't even attempt the 80% (1:34). I finished in 1:43 which gave me top 8% overall women & top 3% in age category. Even Mo took longer than 60 mins today so feeling bit happier since checking results. Gusting cross winds so strong crossing Tower Bridge I feared I may take a dip in the Thames st one point! Due to the wind they cancelled the after run festival & also removed the flags for the meet up area so finding my other half post run almost as big a challenge ax the run!
57.5 Degrees of Pain Mar 2019 7:57pm, 10 Mar 2019 4458 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Well done surviving the wind Jovi. We had winds like that forecast, but it was not quite so bad, and Inverness is a fairly sheltered course. But the wintry showers and cold temps made it a character building day. I have no idea how someone survives running over 2 1/2 hours on a day like today like the miserable looking people I saw as I walked back to the car. I was in a hot shower at about the 1.33 point in the race. Knowing the showers are a short way from the finish, and the 80 WAVA, were the two thoughts that kept me going late in the race.
Chrisity Mar 2019 9:43pm, 23 Mar 2019 16531 posts	0 Chrisity Yet another parkrun WAVA record, if i use the distance recorded and not 5k. 81.32% for my 21.22 time over 3.22 miles according to my watch. Oh well.....

57.5 Degrees of Pain Mar 2019 9:20am, 24 Mar 2019 4497 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain No one has recorded an 80% WAVA at Fort William parkrun in its first year. It's a tough course but by no means the toughest. I was a long way off challenging that record yesterday!
Son of a Pronator Man Apr 2019 2:44pm, 14 Apr 2019 8582 posts	0 Son of a Pronator Man I had a decent run at Grangemouth 10k, 41:12 and 78.92 % wava.. Still a bit to be done
Chrisity May 2019 4:52pm, 18 May 2019 16583 posts	0 Chrisity I worked out that if i equalled my parkrun pb when aged 66 then i would get exactly 80% WAVA. Last Thursday i turned 66, so today was my first chance. Would i get past the magic 80? If you've got 5 minutes read my blog https://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog-view.php?id=2274. If you haven't, just look at the last couple of paragraphs.
