A beautiful sunny morning pacing at Coldham's Common parkrun for Caroline, Scott and me.

Getting in early, Scott arrived first to help set up, checking the course and filling in the many, many rabbit holes. Caroline and I cycled over and we all met in time to be handed our pacer vests, get some photos, and share some handy pacing tips. After getting a lovely shout out in the briefing, we were off!

It was a hot one and pretty exposed most of the way round so steady was key. Being a two lap course helped with double checking our pace, and although there were some questions raised about accuracy of the distance, we all came in within 15 seconds of our pacing time, which is pretty good going! 💪 Caroline wins the prize for most pace perfect ⭐

I stayed to help with pack down, clearing the finish funnel and packing the trolley, all very satisfying.

We volunteer at Coldham's on the first weekend of every month, so if you fancy trying a pacing role in a very supportive environment, come along in August.
