Saturday 22 July 2023 - Wythenshawe parkrun #532

On a rainy morning, Sue and I took the car to the park, leaving our bikes in the shed for once. After a record attendance of 462 last week, just 266 people turned up for this wet one.

After chatting to a few regulars who we'd not seen for a while, we gravitated to the start, where Alan performed his Run Dirctor duties with minimal fuss.

I set off near the back, as is now usual, and took a few photos before stashing my camera (phone) in a pocket protected by anorak and overtrousers. Also wearing waterproof shoes and socks, I remained dry throughout. If slow.

Looking ahead

Looking back (not many there!).

Cromwell's view

It's remarkable how 266 runners can get spread out in such a short distance - around 500 metres.

Later, in the tearoom, sorting the barcode tokens was quite a long job as all 266 needed to be dried. Sue was good at that job.

Full results are here.

Sunday: I went along for the Community Run - no photos - rain - 32:30.
