Tottenham Hail
8 GoodGymers made their way 2.6km to help the Down Lane Studios in Haringey.

8 runners dodged hail and football fans for 2km to help Downlane studio rearrange some marquees.
It was a bit of a chaotic start with Pennie dropping out due to injury, the first Tottenham match in the new stadium kicking off and a sudden hail storm all conspiring to prevent us from getting away on time.
Dave struggled to explain Pennies ankle flexor warm up, so we moved onto a round of "freestyle burpee" name game. Where we struggled with Louise's complicated name.
Then we dashed off towards Tottenham Hale, where we had one or the oddest tasks ever. Moving two giant tents.
We split into two teams. Team "Power lift" who moved all the plants and cables holding down the tent. Team "How many runners does it take change a light bulb?" who shifted everything inside the tent. Including a full sized freeze dried palm tree!
Tropical Thunder
With all that done, everyone grabbed a pole, and we slid the large tent over. Feeling very smug.
Until we had to pivot the VERY large tent. It took every one of us, but we managed to get it into its new position in the nick of time!
We skipped a formal fitness session, by did manage go make a sprint through the cycle lane strava segment on the way to back to base.
Congratulations to Latoya for breaking into the top 10! On a dryer day, I bet we can smash these times.

Great to see our Louise joining in the fun 😊
She spoke very highly of you. So I know she's got good taste.
Thanks for making me so welcome :)
