From the Parkrun FB page:
Winner of best dressed at 'All Things British' Gindy parkrun - Jill Pearson as Big Ben! Congrats Jill, great effort!
Incidentally in the 5k I caught Jill as we started onto the peninsula, well after the bridge. So, Ewen, you won't have to shout me a beer,
Nic Bideau article: there is a new article about Nic Bideau in the New Breed website. an excerpt:
What’s the funniest thing you have ever seen in sport?
Henry Rono…2 hour warm up at a Melbourne International track meeting. The gun goes off, Henry goes to back for first 8 laps, then wins in 27.30 when the world record was only 27.22…when asked why he went to the back for so long after such a long warm up he said, “I wasn’t warm enough”

I never did warm up properly for the 5k this morning. A temperature of minus 4 had something to do with it as well as only jogging around for twenty minutes. I didn't feel warm at all. I often feel that by the time I have finally warmed up I am too tired to race. And I rarely start fast in a race. An exception was 2011's YCRC Half Marathon. I am running a Half Marathon Monday and again in two weeks. In both cases, at training pace. There will be no fast start attempts for a while yet.
