Southampton Park Run Rivals - Episode 1

In this new series, I attempt to beat fellow Parkrunners in a race they don't even know is happening! We have all been there, jogging around at a leisurely pace when suddenly, a minor and inconsequential act suddenly triggers your competitive spirit. Sometimes this can be early on, and a long tactical battle ensures. Other times, the rivalry develops much later and is settled over a sprint to the line. Most of the time, the person you are racing, doesn't know, and probably doesn't care. Every now and again, as with Rival number 3 today, they know exactly what you are doing, and they don't want to let you win! 3:26 - Top of the hill and downhill strategy 5:46 - Rival 1 Appears 6:10 - Rival 2 Appears 8:21 - Rival 3 Appears 11:03 - The race hots up 11:50 - Sprint finish 12:33 - Stats
