Another PB!
Got there early again and did a warmup, maybe 12 minutes. I think I probably finished it a bit soon, as there was a bit of waiting around and I cooled down again.
I met some Evo friends at the start - Stuart and Rob Novell and Phil McMichael - so had a chat with them which was good.
I have a new watch, Garmin 25, so no battery worries this week. Still getting used to it, and it only shows two fields on it's screen at a time, as opposed to the 205 which had 4. So I'm watching my pace and distance - not sure if that's best.
Stuart went off fast, and I tried to keep up but lost him quickly - he was running a lot faster than my normal target pace. But I was going as well as last Parkrun, and towards the mid-race I was catching him.
I slowly overtook on the second lap and put some space between us, just watching my average pace and keeping pushing.
I was surprised to beat my PB (even if only by 1 second) at 20:49, as it didn't feel quite as difficult as last month. Perhaps I'm a bit fitter. Phil had to pull out due to injury, but Stuart and Rob both also got PBs.
I came 14th again, out of 274 runners.
