Agent Orange It's a lonely place at the back of the A race, but at least I wasn't last.  A mixture of pluses and minuses.  Minuses - course felt like hard work, especially in 4th km; felt I paced myself badly.  Pluses - did my fastest ever km in a race; PB'ed despite the minuses and had lovely support from Fetchies.  With a bit better preparation, that sub-22 minute 5k should be doable Unaffiliated 19:40 21:33 21:59 22:07 61.64
Binks I blame the 1 second on the duck. Serpentine RC 19:08 19:31 19:30 19:31 65.84

I may PB but then it will only have been 5 days since Draycote. Legs feel ok but I have not really run fast yet.

New course 

4 out of 5 kms at sub 3.30 

1 tough K and my watch time says I missed by a second

course came in .06 long

Official time 17.32

Plus side was a ran really well with my HR up high and came back with a strong Sub 3.30 last KM

At some point I will run a very fast if tapered 5K Cannock & Stafford AC 16:16 17:02 17:29 17:31 75.04

Siamese Pete Bring back the old course!
That was flipping hard work, but a PB, and lots of support from other Fetchies made the last km seem a bit shorter.
Great to meet you all before the start - couldn't hang around afterwards though - sorry! Unaffiliated 25:20 25:20 27:00 26:58 50.55
SteveX First go at this. Could only get a place in A race so will have to go under 21 mins. Based on current form should be OK.

Harder than I thought- legs still a bit tired. Windy too. I measured the course about 200m over the 5k. But a benchmark to go quicker next time. Striders of Croydon AC 20:47 20:47 20:40 21:17 67.04

The Teaboy A wake up call. Was third from back in the A race and ran like a total muppet. Bedford Harriers AC 19:36 20:07 21:00 21:35 59.54
