First Parkrun

November 11, 2023 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 40s

Comments:
We suggested NXR kids and others could run the Parkrun today for an opportunity for a tempo or low-key race on a flat, fast course. I drove over to Fletchers, arriving around 8:25, ran a little less than a mile and did 30 seconds of drills and 4 strong striders. Then we listened to instructions and set off southbound to avoid other charity races happening northbound. I set off pacing Audrey and Shira and Naomi who dropped back. After the turnaround (9:58) I slowed up and waited for Naomi and then paced her for most of the return trip. She and I finished in 20:52 (although we'd started 2 second after the "go" due to the crowded, narrow towpath start. Lots of puddles, but chilly, fresh air and about 20 Hoppers all working hard made for a nice environment. Talked with parents and students before squeezing in a recovery pace 1.5 miles or so and catching my 87th and 88th leaves.
