I don’t normally write in with parkrun results but thought this might be of interest to people.

Sylvia and I went over to Heath and Reach for the 1st Rushmere parkrun. It takes place in Rushmere Country Park which is about 30 minutes away and well sign posted once you get near Heath and Reach. We were given a pep talk by parkrun record holder (13:48) GB Olympian Andrew Baddeley. We were warned that the course is harder than Tring and I can believe that. We started up the track with plenty of puddles to dodge and then we were directed through the trees. Lovely running on the soft ground. Then down a nice steep hill with plenty of passing opportunities if you didn’t mind going through the boggy bits, which I didn’t. Another gentle uphill stretch took us back to the start for a high five from Andrew Baddeley and another lap. Great fun, just like cross country. No parkrun would be complete without coffee and cake and the Tree Tops café does that nicely – the picture is a view from the balcony.

 Noel – 30:55
