Oh dear, the majority were right and I was wrong! Totally full of shit and the boasting was all fake. Tssk, that's the last time I believe anything I read on the internet!
I've only ever run one 5k road race, 16:57 I think. Unfortunately I'm 3 years away from being a V40 and the rankings for V35 only go down to 16:45. Best get out again and convert my 16:19 track time to the road.
Good show D2D. Still a fair way from sub-20 but since you're new to racing such a short distance I think there's potential for a quicker time simply from getting used to the discomfort level that's possible to stomach. Were you throwing up at the end? Find a nice flat course without steps (!) and you'll be laughing!

The top quintile for ladies >23 years old is <23 minutes.
Best time is 13:54 - although that appears to be 3 mins faster than the next best, so might not be right.
(No it isn't - WR is only 14:11!)
When i did the entirely fictitious Ambridge marathon I claimd 1:59:59 on Fetch.
Got in lumber for that.
I give her 21.48 for effort.
JB - Athletics Weekly has recently published a listing of age-graded reults for 5k to Marathon during 2009 - worth looking up if you're interested.
For Men's 5k top times are
Vet80 = 23:54
Vet75 = 24:30
Vet70 = 20:33 !!
Vet65 = 18:33
there's some quick buggers out there
How long doe's it normally take Parkrun to update the web results?
Come D2D, it was an hour and a half ago, post your results, please!
...You don't normally spend this much time away from the forum!
Well done! Sub 7m/m! And first woman!
...now i can go out!
Well done for being first woman. So that's over 4min per km.
That would put you in the top decile of the Fetch ladies table over 5km.
The equivalent decile time for men is 18:02.
UK V40 rankings, 2009 - 5k road
Rank:
1 15:02

100 16:45
(138 inside 17:00)

Has she finished yet?
The equivalent time for males on Fetch is 18:02.
So is Jokerman a sub 18 runner? And where is his proof?
Just askin...Oh, silly me, there won't BE any proof will there, because he's our resident Man of Mystery.
Perhaps he could consider putting up? It might enhance his credibility...
x-post, oops!
