Training Log Archive: Thraws

Pulborough, Stopham Br, Greatham, Amberley, Parham Ho, Cootham, Wiggonholt. Pub walk with Jan over Amberley and Pulborough Brooks, something I've long wanted to do. Included pint and crisps at the Sportsman, and ice lolly and coffee at RSPB visitor centre. Hot.

My first ever parkrun (as I admitted when asked and so got a clap for!). At the eighth running of the Hotham Park event. Thought I might win, but three youngsters sprinted away right at the start and it would have been suicide to stick with them. I wondered if they'd blow up but, no, they were proper runners. In fact, paced myself pretty well and was able to pick it up just a little bit for the last lap (of four). Took consolation from the age-graded results, which had me first on the day and seventh overall in history of the race. Excellent workout, but not sure about the time of day. Few kids from school there, and so nice to take part alongside juniors.

Windy ride home.

Got a bit wet coming home.
