Entrants (1) Club PB SB Pred Time WAVA
RFJ Aim a PB of 19:36 or better (did 19:41 3 weeks ago with that fall) Got up front for the start, and basically blasted it, after about 750m thought im going to pay for this, hit the 1k in 3:37 (I cant even do that in speed reps...) Oh well, lets try to hold it together, a few people pass me, so start digging in as the effort of the 1st K kick in, hit 2k witha 3:57, thats better, a bit more realistic, if I can keep it like that then I'll be ok, club mate passes me, during that K. On to 3rd K and working really hard. Its getting a bit slippy underfooyt, not good, but pushing on and hit 3k in 3:50. Another hard k. well on target, need to hold it all together still and not blow up. Concerntrate on breathing and pace can hear a couple of runners closing in, hit 4k in 3:57, great, 1K to go and im still going strong. Into last K and get taken by the 2 runners closing in, try and stay with them, the tank has fallen off, running on fumes now, 400 to go, last push, nothing there, but maintain pace, just round the last bridge to hit 5k in 3:56. Aim achieved well and truely a new 5K pb of 19:19 (17 sec pb), finish in 23rd from 110 runners and a very happy RFJ..... Swindon Striders 17:59 19:19 19:41 19:19 68.54
