Time/Position: 20.26 (3rd from 111)
My Garmin has been warning me all week with its metrics suggesting some kind of health issue. I feel fine, but had to abandon a planned long run on Tuesday and have concluded that it's not an infection, but a hangover from the somewhat ridiculously packed Peruvian schedule. Whatever the reason, I felt dreadful this morning on this route, which is flat but entirely off-road and twisty for two large laps in the woods near the Oswestry A5. I wore an ancient pair of fell running shoes, which didn't help matters, and started off fairly quickly to the point that I led briefly. But I knew pretty quickly that all was not well, and almost stopped before the second lap started. Possibly my slowest ever parkrun, certainly my worst ever 'performance', although - as ever - it's not a race! First age graded, for what its worth.
