Gate crashing a race

Multitasking helps with my time management so after I dropped my son off at his football match I went for a run. Is would allow me to get a workout and be at the sideline for the start of his match. I ran into Strathclyde Park and immediately realised I had gate crashed a triathlon. However as a public park you can still run, walk your dog etc even in the middle of a race. So I had people cheering me on, thanks for that, offering me drinks and eventually argueing with me as to the right direction! The fact I was in the race made me run harder so when I checked my stats at the end it was the fastest I have run in over a month. So the balance of my training has shifted to running but I will continue swimming to relax my legs and cycling / turbo training for my stamina. Now to put my feet up to watch the Grand Prix!
