parkrun #168...

conditions were fresh but still for parkrun...

it was pacer day with pacers for 20 - David Clarke (19:58), 22 - Jen Bright (21:59), 25 - Tim Robbins (25:01), 28 - Steph Day (28:23), 30 - Belinda Harding (29:56), 35 - Matt Robbie (35:00) & 40 - Andrew Walker (39:52)...

there seemed to be a few more parkrun dogs than usual and they were around my pace...it was quite congested early and as we hit the boardwalk one of the dogs stopped suddenly at a bollard right in front of me...this caused me to come to a complete stop and I had to put my hand on the bollard to make sure I didn't trip on the dog...

the congestion early is always a concern and the addition of extra dogs makes tripping a real hazard...

I tried to keep the 25min pacer within reach, even chatting with him at one stage (he's a friend of Will Barlow's), but I couldn't quite maintain the pace...nevertheless it was another PSPB knocking off 12secs from my run two weeks ago...
