Chester Parkrun

"Race": Chester Parkrun (5k)
Time/Position: 18.01 (2nd from 195 [1st V45])
With a longer than usual Clwydian run last night in my legs, and torrential rain this morning, this was yet another less than ideal set of circumstances to do a Parkrun (my third). Soon, I will have to do one with some preparation and try for a decent time. The Chester course takes two laps of the small country park near the hospital - sadly, I didn't realise each lap included a cross country section. In the rain, this was boggy and slippery throughout, and I had just my racing flats on: this was unfortunate as otherwise I had a reasonable run given the circumstances. The lack of grip on the XC section cost 20-30 seconds I reckon.
