It being a Saturday, it was a parkrun day.
It being 2010, it was a Banstead Woods parkrun.
Me being me, I was volunteering, at the finish line as the backup timer, & taking photos.
and of course, as is the case for all the BWp photos at that time, I have copies in the archive on my external hard drive.
This is what I found:
End of lap one for the lead runners - Chris Phelan running his first parkrun after a 5.5 month layoff. He was really nervous! First picture shows me shouting encouragement at one of the nicest people I know, having taken photos of his approach.

Then we have a series of multi-tasking shots - cheering, timing and taking photos - all is cool as long as I remember which button I'm pressing, when!

Once it was all over, it would appear that I walked back to the car park with a triumphant Mr Banstead Woods. If my memory serves me well (and it usually does) we were having an intense step by step deconstruction of the run Chris had just done, followed by a discussion about the progress being made with the set-up of Riddesdown.

For the record, RDp wouldn't have happened without Chris Phelan's support - it was a really lengthly process, with discussions involving a whole lot of land management teams - and I'm not calm enough to stay patient through all of that. Chris was a great source of ideas, and we owe our event to his encouragement and enthusiasm.
