Mallow Town Parkrun

Headed to Mallow for their 1st birthday parkrun! The ting I liked most about this run was that the run directors briefing must have been the shortest I’ve come across yet! She said everything that other run directors say, but it only took about three minutes - brilliant.

This is a lovely run beside the river Blackwater. It starts on paths, then goes onto a more cross country course, before returning to the paths again. It ran it in 31:57, which was as much as I was able for today while trying to keep my heart rate in the “easy” zone. Recovery from my chest infection last week is slow!

At the end, the barcode scanner scanned my athlete barcode but not my finishing token, so I emailed them my details just to be sure. I appeared in the results but I’m not sure if that was because of my email. He was using the volunteer app on his phone - maybe that works differently?!

After the run, it was straight home to get ready to head to Killaloe for Peter’s aunt Margies 90th birthday!Read more
