^ enjoy Norfolk. Bonus unplanned Parkrun today for me.
One of our work sites is in a park which hosts a parkrun. I'd agreed to work 9-11am today to cover absence, nice 3 mile run commute. Arrived 8.40 and absent guy was present so I wasn't needed.
Decided as I was there i'd run Parkrun and see how it went, although local it's one I've never run as i've 3 others closer to home.
1km in, the strongest (can now see he has parkrun pb of 15.xx) in our group of 5 called a split to another, clear he was pacing him so I checked target (17) and decided to stick with them, 2 quickly dropped leaving the three of us. Pacee faded at 3km so we slowed to try chivvy him along. Given it was a pacing effort we didn't race for the line and I was content to drop in 3rd.
17.19 in tatty & heavy speedcross 4's after hitting 100miles (edit: total not per week!) across 2 weeks ultra build was not a bad outcome at all & a fun change of plan.
