Even when I run last, I am still first in my age group! :) I was Tailrunner this morning -- and I must say that I am eminently qualified for the position!!!

It requires a man of infinite experience and wisdom to be tail runner, along with your other eminent qualifications. I hope I am still enjoying my running (not to forget the walking) in ten years time Bazza. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

Trouble is - they actually allow pacers and Tailrunners to include the day as a "run" and as a volunteer in your events tally -- BUT the Tailrunners time is also included so it is a disaster to your "average" parkrun time :)
