Sun, fun, run but no pun

Tonight was the fifth and final Lakeside 5k Road race series, hosted by City of Portsmouth. Katie, India, Wilson and Jo met up early and walked around the lake realising how humid it was. Once back at base we met up with Aoife who had run up to meet us.

We positioned ourselves central to the shops this evening, and India distributed the numbers whilst we answered any questions on the night. Thanks to Paul who took a group photo for us this evening, even though he left a lovely selfie on Katie's phone.

A combination of the warm weather and this being the final 5k of the series definitely brought in a lot more runners than previous. Some difficult decisions had to be made with regards to what drink to order, Wilson definitely won that with the colourful Passion fruit frappe and Aoife had a very large tea. Least she would be hydrated for her run home :-)

Backup number recorder Vicki wasn't able to be with us tonight so someone needed to step into her shoes and Wilson did that. Although Wilson did pull Jo's leg about how to fill in the sheet and was wanting to complete it like a bingo card.

Tonight’s finishing funnel did get very hectic when a rush of runners came in and changed their order but thankfully due to two sets of results recorders, results were recorded succesfully.
