DrBob Really enjoyed that! Felt very smooth Nd contained. Be good to do some track racing next year! Cambridge & Coleridge AC 5:14 5:14 5:10 5:14 81.39
Drell It's a goal, not a prediction. I'm much more likely to do around 8:00. Unaffiliated 7:49 7:49 7:40 7:49 59.71
eL Bee! have 'Feathers' will travel.  So - will it be cold, then..?? :)

Had a fabulous time :)  almost bailed on the mile after 2 laps, but didn't and finished in a creditable 5:33.  No PB, but if I'd got one that would have been silly!!
Still sprinting 100m in just under 14 seconds (I think Mr Speedy has 'got' me over that distance now!!) Cumberland AC 5:19 5:33 5:33 73.33
Girlie A tiny little PB would be nice:-)
***UPDATE*** A bigger PB than expected, so very happy.
Felt comfortable in 2nd lap, so am targeting sub 8 next time. Lonely Goat RC 8:10 8:10 8:21 8:10 53.69

Vicksta Bit slower than last time, but no warm up and didn't really go for it. A nice afternoon, and thanks for all the cayke! Harlow RC 6:30 6:30 6:35 64.47
Vindicator Not a bad performance given that Vicksta and I wen Christmas shopping for 4 hours in the morning, then did little/no warm up.
The race plan was to run this as 85s laps, relying on a sprint to make up the 'missing' 9 metres for the 5:40, or be in a position to open things out for the last lap to gain more time. I was pretty tired come the last lap, but was on target, so settled for a hold on policy to get me home on/near PB. FR's son running me down in the last 100m helped my sprint (finished together, but he may have just pipped me) and I got my time. I think there were a few seconds more in me If I was better prepared.
A fantastic event. Thanks to all those involved in the organisation. Harlow RC 5:39 5:40 5:40 5:40 68.30
