Time/Position: 18.47 (5th from 423)
Just a short jog from home, this new parkrun seemed too good to be true when I first heard about it last week. But after a low key launch last weekend, hundreds had got wind of it this morning, although as I could just jog 2k across the fields from home, parking wasn't an issue for me. The course looked initially like it would be too narrow for the numbers, but actually it seemed to work out fairly well. An initial 1.4km loop goes along the lake to cut back through the restored fort. After a congested start, I deliberately went hard round the first lap and then eased a bit for the second, after which the route embarks on a long out-and-back along the wide track to the far end of the lake. Perfect conditions, beautifully sunny and dry underfoot throughout, although I can imagine muddier scenes in winter. After a good tempo run along the seafront in Rhyl on Thursday, the training is starting to pick up in advance of my imminent age category change!
