Plenty Hot At Parkrun

By Victoria Velton

What a sweltering start to the weekend. Both Cardwell and Palm Creek were recording high heat that felt worse with accompanying high humidity. I am surprised that many of the participants weren't mere puddles of sweat by the end of their parkruns.

I was the tail walker this week and even with my lack of running, I felt I was sweating as much as our faster runners. I will definitely start wearing a hat and sunnies along with my usual sunscreen in the coming weeks as the temperatures climb. Stay sun safe and hydrated out there, thanks to our volunteers for keeping us cool with iceblocks after the run, you're the best!
