After biblical weather last month we had a warm summer evening for the last Lakeside 5k series held by Havant AC.
A huge welcome to Finnuala who had just recently signed up to Goodgym and this was her 3rd task of the day.
Jen headed put for a run around the lake whilst everyone else was arriving or finishing a previous task of cleaning the water near Hilsea Lido.
As it was the final race of the series, a good number of runners turned up and Dave, Duncan, Jen, Lucy and Yvonne did a great job handing out remaining numbers and writing out replacements that were washed out last time.
Due to the holiday season they were short of some marshalls and once the race was underway we took up various positions to ensure the runners knew where to go for the second lap and to ensure traffic didn't cross the runners path.
We had a close couple of vomit alerts where Judy was ready to wash away but thankfully nothing was needed.
