Description from Strava:
Whilst up in Scotland I wanted to log another parkrun. We were staying just outside Dundee that has a couple nearby. Unfortunately the nearer one was cancelled, so I drove across town to Broughty Ferry. The course is right by the beach on the River Tay with the railway alongside. There is plenty of free parking on the road or a couple of small car parks. This was only the 11th event there.
I thought it was a bit quiet and the marshalls were still setting up the course. Then I checked and realised that it starts at 9:30, which is later than most events. I just had to hang around for a while and stay warmed up.
I chatted to a marshal and a lady who has just moved to the area and was running there for the first time. There were a lot there at the start, so I tried to judge where to stand.
When we set off i overtook a few as they spread out. The course follows the river to a caravan park. It is fairly flat. You turn around to head back towards the start. That was when we had to work against the wind. I was pretty quick with it behind me and did 2km in under 10 minutes, but could not maintain that. You have to go a way past the finish before turning again. I was so glad to have the wind behind me again.
My time was one of my best this year so I am happy. That is my 13th location and the 4th new one this year.
There did not seem to be any toilets nearby and they do go for drinks at a cafe somewhere in town where runners get a discount. I had to head off as we had other plans for the day.
Run free!
