Thirty-fourth parkrun

A reasonably good finishing time of 20:05 this morning — not too shabby considering I'd spent yesterday afternoon thrashing routes at the climbing centre. The turnout was impressively high this morning — in the three hundreds for the first time — helped by the bank holiday crowds and the good weather. L was there with his parents — his dad did the 5K with him and we met up with his mum at the Quay at the end of the run.

Instead of going straight home, I stayed down and watched the women's Deep Water Solo qualifiers in the canal basin. The field was slightly smaller than last year and I ended up staying for the morning — during which I became more and more worried about sunburn — to cheer the competitors on.
