Over an hour wait in the funnel? It doesn't bear thinking about!

52 minute run for me. One of those warmer-out-than-in days.

Fastest time this year for me at Wollaton parkrun.

The funnel at Bushy sounded bonkers today (I did Bushy in Feb 2020). Apparently results for Bushy may not be available until tomorrow...

With over 6000 finishers I wouldn’t expect anything less.

It was bonkers, but the volunteers were great. I didn't get a finish position (started too far back and couldn't get moving through the crowds) but it took 20 minutes to get from 2.93 miles to the funnels (and weirdly the only parkrun that's ever come up as 3.1 on the line!).
After that it was nearly 90 minutes in the funnel until we heard they'd run out of tokens, then cloakroom tickets, then writing numbers on people's hands... after which they gave up the idea of finish positions and just started scanning barcodes of everyone still in the funnels.

A weird and interesting experience. Not having taken my 'phone with me I didn't have anything to do in the funnel but talk to people and find dogs to pet :)

Morning all :-)

Early start for me ahead of what will undoubtedly be a PW at the Big Half. Not fussed by that, it’s just a fact! Aim is to enjoy it and get round in one piece :-)

luck to Som and AutumnLeaves today too :-)
