Parkrun 21: 30.26. Age-graded: 50.55%

Now we're getting somewhere. :-) 42 seconds faster than last week.

I took off reasonably fast, but slowed a little on the far side of the Rye, then kept up a steady pace. At the steps I strode up with a spring, and only walked a few steps at the top. I found a bit more behind the weir, and kept it up downhill onto the Rye.

Then on the far side, my shoelace came undone, and I had to stop and tie it. Would only have taken five seconds, but goes to show that my time could have been quicker.

At the finish, I found some strength to push for the line, but regretted it, as I felt a bit ill afterwards.

Strangely, I was quite aware of my breathing on this run, so maybe it was just working harder and needing more oxygen as fuel. Legs felt fine.

I was wearing my new running pants - maybe they are go-faster stripes.

Yay PB, and I'm finally into the 30s. :-)
