someone mentioned that they did New Zealand and San Francisco in the same day, which seems bonkers. Bonkers in terms of wanting to do it I guess, unless they were travelling anyway for another reason. Technically totally feasible though because of the dateline. If you fly from New Zealand to San Francisco you arrive some hours before you depart going by local times, because of crossing the international Date Line. I had flown from Australia rather than from New Zealand but I was visiting relatives in both places, I wasn't only there for parkrun. (Just as well, since the parkrun I went to on Australia was cancelled at short notice for lack of volunteers). |

For clarity I didn't attempt to do two in the same day, they were consecutive weekends and I flew on a Wednesday.

I spoke too soon. Had car problems on the way to parkrun. Turned up 3 or 4 minutes late, it had already gone of course. Gradually caught up and finished 110th out of 136. So much for the PB! First time I've ever done it, a weird experience not being in a mass at the beginning and not being overtaken |

Wouldn’t that be, um, a bit wet? Parkswim?
