It was a glorious day on Saturday - with 343 runners, including 39 Striders, enjoying a pleasant parkrun at the barrage. Antony Hamling, fresh from his track exploits, got a new pb.

We had the annoyingly talented Scott not even bothering with a 'fosbury flop'. He just sort of stepped over the bar on his way to victory. A rival competitor had a spectacular 40 metre sprint approach to the bar. Dave asked what the noise was during my take off. It turns out I slap my thigh as I go over - don't ask me…
