This would have been more exciting had I not been quietly shitting myself about getting everyone's times wrong.
Ridiculous, especially given there was another lady doing the same job so I wasn't even alone in the first place.
All I had to do was press two buttons on a large stop-watch:
- Button A when the run started
- Button B every time a runner passed the finish line.
That was it. Yet I got the massive fear. I kept imagining accidentally pressing button A, therefore stopping the watch prematurely, mucking up everyone's times and becoming a parkrun pariah.
Thankfully, this did not happen.
All runners were correctly clicked in and I only pressed A again when the tail-runner (no. 127) entered the finishing tunnel. ("Runners this way, please. In the tunnel, thank you. Well done.")
So, all's well that ends well. Huge relief.
