Crieff parkrun

'Race': Lady Mary's Walk parkrun (Crieff)
Time/Position: 19.41 (3rd from 141)
This delightful parkrun has only been going a few weeks, so the V55 course record I set wasn't very impressive. That said, the first few runners were either sent the wrong way, or didn't listen to the instructions (!) which meant we covered a bit more ground than we needed to on the route, which makes two return laps along the sun-dappled banks of the River Earn. It was really pleasant, but we turned too early without a marshall so had to make up the course length, and this even included a stop and brief conversation with the race organiser! Perhaps not the wisest decision with a four Munro circuit planned in the afternoon, but on the other hand it's nice I can still do that a few days before my 56th birthday!
