Hello everyone….
So 2015 was ages ago and the final tables didn’t come out, I
apologies it’s taken so long. Being away in December in Oz then having so much to
do since I return its been hard to find the time.
2015 was the 3rd year league ran and the time I
could put into it demised with weddings and honeymoons, but there has also been
a tail off in participation. It also (for some) has not become what the vision
was at the start. I have considered many options but for 2016 its time to take
a rest from yPL. Maybe it will be back in 2017 in a different guise. But let’s celebrate
what we finished with in 2015.
Overall Time League Gregan powered to over an 11 and a half minute lead over Keith L. who were the only entrants to run all 8 parkruns this year. Keith was able to snatch the WAVA league though from Gregan as his pace for is age is superior. It was a close call though as Keith had to run Graves, Peter Pan and Sewerby in the last few weeks of the year.
A special mention to Dave Playforth and Sheila Maddison, both not only finished above me on these tables but seemed to do really well, especially Sheila.
The mini league was wrapped up many moons ago, but was by far the most interesting and I did consider keeping this league only going this year…..maybe this will be 2017 onwards. As its more attainable to complete the runs we had 8 people complete all four and another 6 complete 3 out of the 4. Gregan finished top, Dawn finished top lady and on a personal note 3rd place was nice to achieve.
Unique runs table, this is the one that takes the most time to process. I keep a list of all the parkruns each individual runs in a year, compare that the new ones ran since the last update, then anyone with names I am unfamiliar with I have to check if it’s in England or beyond. Takes time. This year again was dominated by John and Dawn Broom and John once again got the better of it by the odd run. My four international runs did not help me too much, seems Gregan is getting into the tourist mode nowadays and his 28 different parkruns brought him home in forth behind Keith, Dawn and John.
So that’s the update, I hope you have all enjoyed it. If anyone wants to continue this in this guise or another similar one, I’m happy to hand over the reigns. Just let me know…
All the best,
Mark
