A lot of the chat before Acton Junior parkrun this morning was around the Winter Olympics. Who's seen the opening ceremony? Who'd been firing themselves down an ice flume on a tea tray at 120kmph? Who had the most impressive or least practical outfits at the opening ceremony? Had the GoodGym team been in training for today's parkrun?

"Timekeepers, are you ready?" - Run Director
"Yes, my thumbs are ready."
"They've been in training."
"They're at peak performance, ready to record times!" - Sevan

The rest of the team were ready too, with gold standard marshalling by Maria, Harvey, Chris and Steph. Lightening fast barcode scanning by Joanna... and dependably slow tail walking by Kash.

There weren't any 120kmph performances today and thankfully no ice either, so the 61 finishers made it safely around the track. The first finisher recorded a more sedate, yet still impressive 14.52kmph (or 8:15).
