To say it was raining was an understatement! Heavy , constant rain it certainly was, puddles all over the place, Catton “lake” was tremendous. Still, 141 people turned up, all be it most sheltered under the trees until the call to go to the start. The biggest shout out was most definitely to ALL the volunteers today, turning out in a vast array of items to keep themselves dry. I was Timekeeper which is a difficult role to master, keeping your phone dry whilst the other hand is tapping people through, no hands free to hold an umbrella! I managed to master the art by shoving the umbrella handle into my coat! It did work to an extent 😂 our own Goodgymer Rob Riley was 1st over the finish, all be it a very wet, muddy, bedraggled person. (see photo) Well done Rob, Most finishers got their barcode scanned and rushed off home, for a hot shower or bath I imagine, certainly there wasn’t many hanging around at the end. No que at the coffee truck after my shift, result.
