Parkrun 12: 31.26. Age-graded: 48.94%

So this was my second run back after a four-week hiatus. I was hoping to at least match my PB, so was pleased to better it, if only by eight seconds. Perhaps the more impressive statistic is that I took 37 seconds off my time from last week.

I took off strongly, and only started feeling tired just before 3km. I took it a little easy on the way back over the dyke, but then stayed fairly strong to the end.

On the way back around the Rye, I was pacing with a man who started talking to me. Turns out he was visiting from Sydney. We had a quick chat before he decided he couldn't keep up with me, but was keeping a fairly good pace (which I suspect he thought I was setting, and I thought he was setting).

I didn't have much left in the tank for a sprint to the finish.
