5k parkrun (newy) 1:12:26 [2] 5.17 km (14:01 / km)
weight:73.3kg shoes: armcrutches
50th volunteering today, and first time combined volunteer/parkrunner
tail-runner - that's my excuse for the time, and it's a good one - a perfect match for my comfort speed level, except today nobody would slow down for me to catch them, not even the very overweight "heart-walk" parkrunner. Finally almost caught him at the 2.5km turn-around, only to find that 2 pram/dog/walker/talker groups had materialised from somewhere behind me (must be some strange quantum effect, that slow park-runners are created spontaneously in the time-space vacuum behind the tail-runner). Consequently the return leg was slower by about 10 minutes.
Across the start line at 1:00, so line to line 71:25, halfway at 31:00
very windy at the start/finish, but more protected across the creek at Linwood so not as uncomfortable as it could have been.
