Well done! That rain, sheesh.
@juanito - don’t know if you were the Kent AC runner topping the results today? Good running, if so.
I went off in the 2nd wave. Bit of a ball ache being stuck in traffic or tip-toeing along canal edge for first 10k, but then I wasn’t ever intending to race it. Rough plan was to cruise along at 4:20/km pace and enjoy the scenery. Worked out exactly that in the end. Rolled in 17th, 4th in age group. Encouraging to be able to run a relaxed HM considering I couldn’t run 1km without stopping back in autumn 2016 when I first tried running again after 30 years off.
Equally satisfying was getting 1 of the 3 ‘volunteer of the year’ awards at my home parkrun. Pleasant morning scanning barcodes with my son yesterday while my wife worked the stopwatch. Tailwalking next week, then back chasing times.

Hi, yes, that was me. I had a very short warm down and was trying to work out who I thought might be you! I didn't dare shout at anyone though. Sounds like good progress in 2 years. Top work on the parkrun award as well.
It was a beautiful morning on the canal; I had fun splashing through all of the puddles. Fortunately, I managed to get into the first wave and had a clear run all the way. I did slow slightly but I'll blame a constant slight uphill for that - and then a proper uphill in the final mile.

After missing the first round I made a triumphant return to league XC, we had the Cross Challenge and Oxford Uni vs RAF in our race as well as the normal league so it was a fast one. Mahamed Mahamed won it outright and I followed about five minutes later.
