My Run Director debut.

[RunaroundSue]

I did my first RD at juniors this morning.Heavy rain didn't do much to deter the 40 runners, plus a couple of small ones who ran but couldn't claim a time.

I had managed to fill the roster and prepared my notes in a lanyard so I was ready to go.

The briefing went well, then I turned the page and did the warm up. That went better than I expected. 3 2 1 go and they were off. And relax!

The rain held off most of the time and there were no incidents.

Unfortunately the last runner on his first parkrun didn't have a barcode so seemed to use his Dad's or maybe older brother's. We didn't realise until we saw the orange warning that it was a 15+ barcode. My mentor had not seen that before so we changed it to Unknown.

I had one half marathon wristband to present.

The results were posted before we left the field, but I have just realised that we didn't post the volunteer roster, just waiting for confirmation from my mentor so that I get it right.

I enjoyed it, looking forward to next time

Congratulations to you Sue on your first time at being RD at junior parkrun, if any runner whether at junior or senior parkrun doesn't have the correct barcode or none that person will show as "unknown" on the result page.
