What a difference a day makes‼️ As is most usual and normal at Pegasus parkrun a 🌞 morning for perambulations but today ☁️ ☁️🌧 its time to stay inside and read about parkrun. Event479 gave us 34 runners and walkers of the park that we had not previously met, 12 of whom were visiting from other parkruns from Riverlution, Hagley, Ashburton, Hamilton Lake, Gordon Spratt and Barry Curtis, with international visitors from Albert (Melbourne) Coffs Harbour (NSW) and Havorfordwest (Wales), big Pegasus welcome s to Carolyn, Connor, Richard, Emily, Luke + Arabelle, Joe, Jacqueline, Tom, Carmen, Chris, Jack and Locklyn 👍. Incredibly a group of 22 [they should have been in TuTu's] grabbed their First Ever parkrun right here at Pegasus, so a Incredibly LARGE welcome to Clay, Lance, Gavin, Tim, Jess, Aaron, Oscar, James, Chris, Rhianna, Micaela, Janine, Natalia, Simon, Sureerat, Jo, Katrina, Samantha, Tania, Fraser, Cillian and Sue 👏 well done on completing your very first (of many) parkrun - it's so very addictive that you'll want to do it every weekend. You'll be able to see a bit more about the above-mentioned people on our Results Page by looking for the bright green FT. We also had a huge 25 people picking themselves up a bright shiny red PB (Personal Best) time, those people were Heidi, Robert, Malcolm, Carolyn, Ben, Sydney, Paul, Mike, Kelvin, Rosa, Andrew, Elliot, Harper, Simon, Clare, Pippa, Miles, Marcella, Adalyn, Daniel, Brad + Felix, Lance, Sunjay and Dianne - Super Well Done to you all❗️ Definitely some of my favourite statistics coming up now : DUBBLYWUBBLY - Hannah 17:17, Tom W 22:22, Kate 24:24, William 28:28, Joel 30:30, Ian 32:32, Tom's 22:22 also qualifies as a palindrome. All of this brings me to the top end stats from which the ladies dominate quite significantly Age Graded Results : Carmen Franklin 89.92% Hannah Oldroyd 87.56% Carolyn Forsey 87.29% Absolutely phenomenal ladies. There were another 12 parkrunners operating at +70% and two more at +69% ‼️‼️ Amongst the Juniors our fastest three were 🥇Connor Scoon 🥈Amilee Flores 🥉Esha-May McHugh The three quickest Senior male parkrunners were : 🥇Luke Mansell 🥈Clay Payton 🥉Willem Young The three quickest female parkrunners were : 🥇Hannah Oldroyd 🥈Carmen Franklin 🥉Amilee Flores and the speediest among all of us were : 🥇Hannah in 17:17 🥈Luke in 17:36 🥉Carmen in 18:01 Brilliant results for you all.

Until next time then, I'll be your PegaScribe
