When I arrived back at the finish line there were still a handful of runners on the course . .

. . but it didn't take long for them all to cross the line . .

. . and then, once everybody had been registered it was time to put the equipment away . .

. . whilst the runners compared notes about their runs, and parkruns, and whatever else came to mind . .

It was nice to get indoors, in the Lido Kitchen, to dry out and take off some very damp clothing . . the results were processed and the Volunteers had some more tuition . . whilst the rest of us relaxed with our coffees and something nice to eat . .

The Kitchen's manager seemed so surprised by the number of us in there at once that he had to take a photo as well . .

. . and it's always nice to have a chance to speak with Paul . .
