Lovely run today, not a PB but really enjoyed it. Unfortunately something went wrong & I've been given the following runner's time - almost 5 minutes slower π±. I don't know why it matters to me but it does - I have emailed the lovely people at Parkrun, let's hope they fix it.
(See if you can spot the difference between the "before" and "during" selfies.)

Just hope that you can get your correct time parkrun time Lang_Lil, both those photos are nice, by the way I ran my first full 5k today but not at a parkrun.
I was funnel manager at my local parkrun today and there are quite a few ways in which things can unfortunately go a bit wonky! I hope they can get it sorted for you.
Looking great in both photos - glad you enjoyed it xx
It happens all the time when one of the timekeepers misses a runner or double clicks - the pressureβs really on around the 20 minute mark. Then thereβs a fiddle needed to get back in step. The effect on the results isnβt noticeable while thereβs a constant flow of runners, but where thereβs a gap it becomes obvious. Dexy and I finished together once and got a 20 second difference in our times .......
How do you look so good in the middle of the run? I did my local parkrun yeserday for the first time. Eagerly looked through the photos (nearly 600 runners - it took a long time). What? No? Surely not? Do I really look that bad? I ABSOLUTELY hated the two photos of me. My face looked like the fattest, roundest, reddest tomato and I looked so, so old. I have to say the rest of the experience was wonderful, but the photos really took the shine off .....
Funny; I think *I'm* the fattest, roundest, reddest, most-past-its-sell-by-date tomato on the course every time!! That's why I posted the picture, to make people laugh at how tomato-y I look; tomato-ier than a can of Heinz Tomato Soup with added tomatoes. Some kind of genetically modified tomato/snail hybrid perhaps?
You're very kind about how I look - I bet you look great to everyone else, it's only you who think "tomato".
Haha. That's funny. Maybe you're right, but under no circumstances am I posting my picture so we will never know π. I'm going to try to hold the thought that other people may not be so affronted by my pic as I was (am). π
