This is such jolly fun isn't it?! Just had my results and they are ;
27'28sec - which matches my PB last run in July 2013. so extremely pleased with that. I came 230th out of 374 which is also extremely pleasing and I was the 174th male.
What the hell is the age grading thingy? I've read the explanation but don't get it. 54.13%??
HOORAY!! Bring on the next one.......

Age grading effectively means that your run was at 54.13% of the pace of the world record for your age range. 100% would be the world record time. Pretty good for a boy!
Ah ok. That makes sense. Think I'll walk a wee bit taller for a few days - you know? Swaggering!!
Excellent results and nothing like reminding you that you are getting on a bit! Age grading would suit me if it means I get a better time! Good luck for your next Parkrun.
yay superdan!! well done on your 1st parkrun, a great time too! i'd love to get under 30 mins eventually! My 8th parkrun next week, and its fancy dress western theme as its their 3rd birthday and we have to bring cakes! Should be fun!
Having observed a number of people at Parkrun, I am now convinced that the people that I am seeing with injuries have one thing in common -- they are (or I should say - were) pushing themselves too hard. Most seem to be of a certain age 30-40 and running 5K in the mid-20's
to be fair, I think its blokes more than us ( not so hard core competitive females!)...And Dan has been doing 5k's for a while, and at similar times...I think he more than any of us understands about injury!!
Excellent news Dan. I can't wait to do my first park run, but I'm out with an injured calf so still waiting to complete the course, only one run to go!
Glad you did it, well done you! was all the research worth it? I've been reading plenty of posts about peoples first parkruns and was wondering where yours was - I was thinking I might have to send you some encouraging words... or tell you to man up and jfdi! that's a great time, you must be very pleased with that, esp on a new route. I'm not that quick yet, I'll be chasing your time for a bit I think! Well done Dan, keep it up
