"Kingsbury Water parkrun results for event #75. Your time was 00:40:21.

Congratulations on completing your 3rd parkrun and your 3rd at Kingsbury Water parkrun today. You finished in 317th place and were the 120th female out of a field of 328 parkrunners and you came 5th in your age category VW55-59. Take a look at this week's full set of results on our website. Your PB at Kingsbury Water parkrun remains 00:39:03. Congratulations on your fastest time this year.

You achieved an age-graded score of 45.48%."

I arrived at the end to be given a raffle ticket! Thought I had won a prize. They had run out of tokens so were relying on individual watch times. Fortunately mine had clicked in exactly as I started running - and I stopped it when the volunteer reminded me.

Really pleased that I was not the tail end charlie and improved on my last run at Kingsbury. Still walking. Must try and run slower. Love the "fastest time this year" comment :-)

Another bonus was meeting someone from work who had spotted me at the toilets before we started and decided to wait for me. Nice cup of tea and jaffa cake to finish the morning.

Happy new year everyone.
