That went well! My 25 volunteer t-shirt arrived in the post this morning. I changed out of random one I was going to wear to proudly sport the purple! Missus and I had a nice morning, relaxed timing, possibly because yesterday off meant we'd got a bit done then, each off to our own things in the morning. I was going to run in from the west car park, and there were Sarah, Campbell and Laura just arriving. So we all jogged and nattered in together. Met Fiona, Susan, Gordon, Steven etc. all from Kinross. I was well warmed up, even did a few strides. Started about 25 min position but edged my way up. Could see Emily instructor from gym ahead, and Sarah. I knew if I was within a few hundred metres of Sarah, I'd be on for a good time as she's been running really well. 22 is was sort of the target. Didn't look at watch at all though, all on feel! Said hi to Laura as I went by, chatted to a guy from Dunfermline who was going for a time, and going well, spoke to the chap with lovely golden brown retriever and said thanks to all the marshals. Each time I chat to someone, I go better! Fast chap went ahead and that was fine, but I was still catching and passing people, gradually. Bit tired by 3/4 but that's to be expected. Push up the hills, recover and flow down. Got past Emily and said hi in sight of old finish, then just kept pushing round the corner and finished just 20 m or so behind Sarah H. So knew it was decent time. Watch said under 21! It was 20:54. 71% plus WAVA and sub 21. Got to be happy with that. Lots of nice chat at end. Weather was perfect - 12C, warm in sun but mostly overcast and no significant wind. Perfect. Laura had a course best and stalking Emily's time it was a PB for her too. Something to mention when I see her at gym! Love parkrun!
