Back on the tourist trail today just outside York. Got a 25 this afternoon so plan was to go steady, you can guess how that ended 
didnāt completely batter myself though.
Just about 3 laps on grass around sports pitches, ground was firm but still slow going.
21:20 which was alright considering.

Flower show in our village this afternoon and MrsF had put a few entries into the different categories. Setup is from 8am so she went down there with me on her bike and started preparing stuff - with me helping with any grunt work and tidying up. 8:35ā¦8:40ā¦.8:50ā¦.8:55!!!
Time was getting tight. The parkrun is about half a mile away and thereās always a good few announcements. We managed to get on our way at 8:59 according to Strava (me on foot, her on bike) and raced to the start.
Got into the park to see a crowd in the distance by the startā¦. And they bloody started so there was no time to rest - I just had to carefully run through the field.
Managed a 21:49. Happy with that. Bloody knackered though.

I gave it a go this morning too, somehow donāt think Iāve done 10 yet, always love the concept more than actually going.
Humbling to have to drive there when itās only 3k. Managed 23:06. Next opportunity will be in October, so aim to Iāll be fit enough to run/jog/walk each way.

Itās a nice little course that one but not particularly fast, when I did it there was at least one stretch of over 100m which was ankle deep in water
I gather the town moor is quite a quick one but has a bottleneck gate quite early, but I havenāt done it.

The course was in no way responsible for my 5 min personal worst 
not in summer conditions anyway, although yes the first 500m were about 5:30 pace in a bottleneck. Think 3 people went under 17 at the front though, including one age 11-14.

Jesmond Dene this morning and even managed to get the GF out of bed as sheās wanted to go for a while.
Nice part of Newcastle but the first half was somewhat undulating and not helped by my legs still suffering from a massage last night.
Hard effort but not quite flat out and got round in 22:19
With that course itās probably handy that it backs onto the freeman

Was a biblical one for me. Thought I was having a bit of a funny turn until I realised it must have been the dyes from the colour run last week (which meant the parkrun was cancelled) I could see on the ground

Guessing numbers will be down this weekend as everyone is pressing F5 on ticketmaster

Did they co-ordinate to reduce the numbers turning up to Bushy for the 1000 then?

Itās doesnāt appear so.
Theyāve sent out some advice, like no coach parking in the carpark. If you need the loo spend some cash in the local coffee shops and use theirs - theres only the one loo block just next to the playground, that could get messy.
Just under 1800 Saturday - itāll be Interesting to see the numbers.
Iām going to go, havenāt been park running all summer now. I think Iāll set an alarm, canāt be turning up late and trying to run through a mega horde of people and then waiting for god knows how long in the funnel

Thereās still the big coach park for HCP there right? Itās probably not a bad location for people who do insist on getting a coach to a parkrun, but it seems bloody weird to me.
