Did the Parkrun at Warwick Racecourse this morning.... my first parkrun since (i think) July of last year.

18:37.... was very pleased with that given the heat... fastest time at Warwick by a long way, and only 3 seconds short of my quickest parkrun time....

Not sure how much time the heat cost, but surely 15-20 seconds, which would put me in 5km pb territory (18:14)

After a brief dalliance with the top 3, settled into 5th for the remainder... at the halfway hairpin i was rather alarmed to find about 5 runners within 10 yards just behind, poised for the kill... but the most pleasing aspect for me was how i held my pace in the 2nd half, and i must've finished 50-100 yards in front of them by the end.
