Parkrun Ginninderra (flood variation) 17:46 1st

Our warm, wet summer continues with heavy overnight rain. Too wet for Stromlo XC circuits. Ginninderra Parkrun went ahead on a course variation due to flooding and continuing rain. Three saturated Canberra Parkrun events were cancelled on the day. The variation course was also heavily waterlogged with huge puddles everywhere. Having got my shoes soaked in the first 200m nothing really mattered after that. It was fun despite the puddles and pouring rain. I started slow, moved through the field until I caught the leader staying with him until the last 500m. Splits: 1:48,1:50,1:41,1:49(dead turn),1:44,1:43,1:45,1:49,2:00(dead turn),1:31.
