Adders Aug 2014 10:28am, 21 Aug 2014 389 posts	Quote Pin Adders Line up announced for Coventry. And a huge turn up. The three of us are indeed in the same race. The D race at 2:17 with the pacemaker going through in 58. pdavey and Blister, youre in the inside lanes, so beware, because its a big field! We get to spectate Alex in the 5000 at 1:52 first though

Blister Aug 2014 12:34pm, 21 Aug 2014 7,234 posts	Quote Pin Blister Yeah Alex, don't go blowing up and delaying us now I just read this (and the start list) and now I'm starting to feel very nervous! Calf's are very sore today, still a little under the weather and tired - ok apart from that! Hopefully I will be fine after 2 more nights sleep!
Johnny Panic Aug 2014 1:39pm, 21 Aug 2014 521 posts	Quote Pin Johnny Panic Why are they pacing the A 5000 at 69s? There's not one guy in the field who could run close to the 14:22 it converts to. Oh well.
Pizza Boy Aug 2014 2:08pm, 21 Aug 2014 2,187 posts	Quote Pin Pizza Boy Do my best boys I know Johnny it's stupid they do it a lot. Though supposably they run at what athletes ask. I should be one of the fastest of my race and I asked for 76s and they have just one pacer running 75s meh.

Although I do feel for you somewhat that youre on the inside lane. Alex: Surely a 75 sec pacer serves you well? The only thing im nervous about (apart from the fact this is my first race in over 4 weeks) is the large field. Im one of the faster guys in my field on paper. Theres not a single guy whos ran sub 2 and theres a few guys I could compete with in the C race (a smaller field) so maybe that would suit me better. Ah well... cest la vie. Should be a good race nonetheless... Theres two bloody rapid U15s in our race!
Pizza Boy Aug 2014 2:50pm, 21 Aug 2014 2,188 posts	Quote Pin Pizza Boy My advice to you guys is to keep concentration right up to the gun. Make sure you have a fast reaction time and get out before the 2 guys either side of you, don't let up ground until you're where you want to be. Adders - Yes serves me well I'll go with that. No-one in that run has ran 75s pace 5000m and I think they could do with a second pacer at around 16.30 pace.
