Richmond Park is a beautiful scenic park, but is far from flat. Usually every weekend during the winter it hosts X/C races so Paula's time is pretty good, confirming that she is on course for a good run in Chicago.
i asked paula's 'imposter' what she gonna wear in london (to test her), and she replied she gonna be wearing "men in black" fashion.
perhaps the imposter was just lucky.
I'd just like to give a big shout out to all my home-ee's
who voted for Paula in the Paula Vs Wejo time duel. We might have been in the minority but apparently we knew something most everyone else didn't.

The imposter wasn't lucky in his guess. She does well in black. She ran 30:47 in NYC's Mini Marathon (10K) this June in a similar outfit.
Paula wore a yellow Nike t-shirt today (and black shorts) as did all 20,000 runners. The numbers had been pre-attched by race sponsors Nike so that's what everyone had to wear.
