Dame Kelly Holmes turned up to our parkrun! I let her run ahead obvously as my knee was hurting. But she stayed till everyone had finshed giving high 5's and doing photos.

Ignoring my still hurting knee...
Which Parkrun was that, Ben?
I note that you are scheduled to be doing the Hever Castle Triathlon. I live nearby and will certainly be out to cheer you guys on.
It's was Maidstone parkrun but I know she has done Tonbridge where she is from a few times and also Tunbridge Wells too.
Yes Hever Castle Triathlon is great really looking forward to it, you should give it a go they do a shorter one.!
He he, I will pass, thanks.
I did a fair amount of swimming last year but just can't click with it. I find it very boring, TBH. Add to that, my only bike is an ancient mountain bike that weighs about 2 metric tonnes.
I also have an HM booked for the following week and will, hopefully, be enjoying my taper.
I will definitely be there to cheer you guys on though.
She is such a star isn't she - she came to my local Parkrun a couple of months backπ Fab photo too btw!
How lovely! XX
What a brilliant photo ! Aw that's definitely one to treasure .....
She always comes across as such a lovely lady .
You both look amazing , like a couple of Olympians !
Well done Ben ! xxx
Thats brilliant! What a momento. Very gallant of you to let her finish before you.
Wow what a gorgeous pic, and how fabulous to meet her in person, I'd so love to meet her... Good of you to let her win... π
how excellent! lovely photo Ben
How brilliant!!!!
Great photo! I used to watch athletes quite a bit and before meets there was usually a bit where the athletes would hang out with the audience and chat and sign autographs, which is how it should be. Fatima Whitbread struck me as being very nice π Good old Kelly! Glad to see she's carrying on with Parkrun. Well done to you too of course Benπ
What a great lady and fab photo too
