9 AM
Running race 22:45 [5] 5.0 km (4:33 / km)
Parkrun Bois de Boulogne. First crack at the Park run and a good reminder of just how hard a 5km race can be. Started off fairly conservatively and let all the really fast people go (there were a few sub-19 minute runners off the front). Started picking up a couple of runners after 1km and then settled in about 20m behind blue-shirt guy. The course has a couple of rises in it that seemed to slow me up considerably and really struggled there. Blue-shirt guy actually stopped a couple of times for a short walk and I still couldn't seem to make inroads into his lead on me! Very disconcerting. Finished up a bit faster. So have set a benchmark and will see how I can improve this over time.
About 30 people in the run, with a solid representation from Anglo-Saxon countries - UK, Australia, NZ. Great atmosphere and will certainly be back.
