When fate and the printer conspire, that's a double whammy. Never mind, park run will be there next week and the week after and the week after... You could just do your W5R3 today in the park and be even more ready (having printed out the barcode the day before) next time park run comes round. It's gorgeous out there (whatever the weather). Have a good run!

I wish I had read this earlier, you could of still gone your time would of just been marked as unknown. I've seen people take chips and then when the results come in they just log it as an unknown runner.

I would have gone and knocked on a friend or neighbour's door to print it out. Hope you had a lovely run nevertheless!
