My little report (that won me a pair of Sennheisher headphones from Run Britain)

Fritton Lake Parkrun - In my attempt to progress on the most events ladder and achieve 50 different events before my 50th Birthday, I got up at the unearthly hour of 5 am ready for a quick breakfast and the 200 mile round trip to Fritton Park. I arrived slightly early to be greeted by two middle aged men dressed in waders and full camouflage gear, I sort of assumed they were probably not going to be doing the parkrun, this was further confirmed by the production of several fishing rods and big green umbrellas. They did, however, kindly point out that I was in the right place and the arrival of other runners was imminent. I wasn't disappointed! several runners arrived and the run briefing commenced, I was very impressed that the 2 lap course was sign posted with small yellow arrows...Yippee! I thought, at least I can't get lost....wrong! The little yellow markers were perfectly placed and easy to spot, unfortunately my eye sight is not so good at the best of times so the arrows were less obvious to me and on several occasions I amused the runner behind me by doing a little 180 degree dance before headed back in the right direction. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the run and rank it as one of the most beautiful and picturesque courses that I have run. Thank you Friton Parkrun.
