'Race': Plym Valley Parkrun, Devon (5k)
Time/Position: 18.39 (4th from 242 [1st Vet])
A quick speed session before leaving Saltash for our cottage in West Penwith. I am still fairly new to Parkruns, but this was a nice course through Plymbridge Woods in the countryside just to the north of Plymouth. It rained throughout, and was already wet underfoot, so I was glad of my fell shoes for the muddy fields that make up the first section of the run. A loop round these fields led to a nice flat towpath along a canal before a steep off-road climb. After this, a long and gradual tarmac descent before a second lap round the muddy fields, where I gained some places to finish 4th. Slow time, but it didn't feel too bad given the nature of the terrain and the muddy conditions.
