Hey!
Cool...got mine a few weeks ago. It's a nice little race. I really enjoyed it last year.
How you doing?
Noone told me it was chipped
Im not sure if I want to be "chipped" there is a slightly surreal painful sounding thing about it
LOL
It's quite a big race and would be a bit of a mare noting results manually.
Big? Wibble
WTG Nam! You are going to be well ahead of me on this one chuck
386 isnt that big - phew! One of the other 5ks have had 300+
Are there still plans to plod on the route?
You still are
I would liket o get sub 30 sometime at 5k....but it sure istn going to be this one - probably not even this year
Slow and steady...and very slow
Thats me
Yes indeed plans to plod on the route! I cant make club tomorrow night as I am working so have decided to run the route tomorrow morning.
I checked and did it in 33.40 last year...which is still my 5K PB so would love to go sub 30... we'll see!
You will easily beat that PJ
I would like to beat my PB cos that was my first race and the fact I did it after a week of shuffling for up to a minute at a time should mean that I am faster now, but I dont think its going to work like that...might have to go to a CBTT in a couple of months time to beat it !
Andrew - you beat me then - not only in a race type manner, but also in the "how far you got before you start to feel like retching" stakes - I got there about 1k to go
The marshalls were great and said the 800m marker is just round the corner - it s only now that I realise that 800m is almost 1km!
Any plans for plodding, say Friday evening or saturday afternoon?
I want to see how bad this damn hill is!!
Dont know if I will....anyway the way Barking was running today I think we've both got something to be worried about! I bet Barking could go sub 30...in fact I reckon all three of us could!
The problem I have is that I've not done many 5K races...so when I come to them I automatically start off to fast, instead of slow and ploddy for Half Mara's and then wonder why it feels like my lungs are going to burst within 5 mins
Made that mistake on the Sport Relief miles and didnt enjoy them at all!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Not likely!
Well you probably will, but not me ROFLMAO
Give me another year.......
umm - I have WRN tommorrow (possibly a tad optomistic on that one - anyway, just remembered I am boycotting it until the word "speed" is dropped from the training....well preferably the word "work", too!), then riding thursday eve, sat am, other eves/weekends free, same next week
You aint holdiong me back LOL
You are making me not go too fast
My splits after I left you got faster and faster, I couldnt seem to make myself slow down and nearly threw up about 1km to go
Means I did a negative split lol - does that make me a "proper" runner(ish)
No I didn't mean it like that, it's just she's got real potential for speed and think she'd be better off racing without me puffing next to her. I'll still happily pace her for long slow runs if she wants me to but she can be much faster than me.
Yes perhaps week after next. I need to get some runs in on my own to get back to normal first. Christ I was a stone lighter when I did Ty Hafan last year....
OK maybe we can arrange something for next week then Barking? If not then it'll be a big suprise
Kinda wish I had done Porthkerry but wanted to take it easy.... plus my LSR was 7.5m yesterday so think the hills today would have killed me!
