Too Much Water
First parkrun in ages today.
Never realised Reading had got so big, must have been over 500 runners and very hard to find somewhere to park.
It seems the briefing at the start lasts as long as the run itself. Heard a few mentions of tailwalker, at which point I walked away.
Also it occurred to me that Reading parkrun reflected the ethnic makeup of the town a bit more than it had in previous years, which is good to see. I wonder if this has been a conscious aim of parkrun as it plays the government funding game. I remember doing Peckham Rye parkrun a few years ago and it being far more East Dulwich than Peckham..

Parkrun does tend to be savagely middle class.

Our Olympian didn't turn up, don't know why  As far as I know we were supposed to have one but a name had not been confirmed, maybe they heard about the moped muggings in the area and bottled out

maybe a communication mix up? We had a bit of a mix up - managed to sort it in the end. It seemed that the expecting parkrun and Olympian had different information! It was only by luck that I spotted the discrepancy.

New attendance record at Cheltenham today - 575! Pleased to say the new course, though still congested at the start, was loads better than the old course would have been with that number.
