I finally made it back to Letchworth parkrun for the first time in a couple of months. Getting up on time on a Saturday morning is an effort in itself. It was looking like a lovely morning, so I got out there. The sun was shining, but it was a little cool. As usual, I cycled the 5km there, which is mostly uphill. I should have left a little earlier as I only had about 10 minutes to recover before the start.
There were lots of people out.
I tend to hang back at the start, but this can mean passing lots in the first km. Not many came back past me over the race, just a few near the end when their finishing sprint was better than mine.
I was hoping for around 27 minutes and I achieved that according to Endomondo. The official results had me slightly slower, but then I had to run a little to the start line and the app may not get the distance exactly. I'm happy enough with how I did.
I'm glad the ride home is mostly downhill as I was lacking in energy. It probably didn't help that I cycled home yesterday for the first time in a while. I still want to do a longer run tomorrow, but I'll take that very steadily.
I'm not out to win races or break records. I'm just an older guy trying to stay fit and motivated.
