RUN REPORT Event489.
First up, Next Week - our 10th birthday and a LOUD shirt day! What can you make of that theme?
Let your clothing make your statement 👍
Don't be cowed,be Loud, be Proud & with the In Crowd, you'll see your parkmates Wowed‼️
There will be cake, Tania will bake, others too may make - we can eat by the Lake, after daybreak, no need for a headshake.
OK, I'm probably done with rhyme, I've run out of time and many are just a crime 🙃 oops a few more slipped out, write about parkrun scribe, give people a shout ❗️
So many aspects of parkrun radiate around wellbeing and personal wellness & we definitely explored one at Event489, that of "parkFun" !!
A lot of "things" get planned at Pegasus parkrun but E489 couldn't have been more mirthful if I'd tried to make it so. All was looking normal at the start - everyone where they should be and, frankly, all went as normal for around 7 minutes, at that moment a very small comms misfire sent Hannah, our lead runner over the bridges and into the 2-lap course‼️ Craig our RD acted as quickly as he could but by the time he had it sorted another 21 parksters had committed to the 2-lapper. Getting the following 112 parkthletes to stay on the out & back course looked to have fixed things.
But this is parkrun❗️and in defiance of an orderly transit to the finish chute we had 22 speedsters completing the second lap of the summer course, legging it with the walkers on the winter course and eventually "crossing paths" metaphorically with returnees on the out & back😂 so much fun to be had, but pity Anne, our happy snapper for the day, the head swivelling that her neck had to endure would have been intense 🔄. I know that everyone completed their 5km and that Hannah bagged her umpteenth #1 finish token. I also know that Heather Jones completed her 50th parkrun so congratulations for that Heather 🎊 . We have 3 new parkmates to welcome, Raelene and Dean Rees and Ellen Worley all made absolute debuts - you are going to have a blast, on this journey. Hailing from Foster, Hagley, Hobsonville and Neale Park were First-Time Visitors - Florence, Jannes, Grace and Tui, thanks for being here, we will endeavor to get everyone on the same course next time you come along 😀. There were 12 PBs achieved by Judy, Sandra, Arabelle, Simon, Lucy, Brendon, Michelle, Heidi, Rob, Kate, Paul and Nathan....well done all of you 👍👍 So what's next? Matariki event on parkrunday 11th July, after that we have a TuTu event on parkrunday 22nd August and the very next parkrunday is all about Pegasus parkrun Event500 ‼️‼️‼️ which is not to be missed, keep a watchful 👁 on this page. However, until next time, see ya The PegaScribe.
