Parkrun Fail

I was really looking forward to Parkrun today – it was my first since moving into the 55-59 age category! 🏃‍♂️💨 Started with my usual routine: a good mobility warm-up and a slow jog to get the blood flowing. 🏃‍♂️💪

Just as I was heading to the start line, I overheard a couple of guys behind me, clearly newbies, trying to figure out how to scan their paper barcodes for the time. 😅 And then it hit me... I hadn’t put my wristband barcode on! 😱🤦‍♂️ 
Too late now, but hey, it’s all part of the experience! 🤷‍♂️

No worries though – my watch said I ran a solid 32:19. ✅ The main thing is, I showed up and gave it my all! 💯
Next time, I’ll remember the barcode! 😂
