Running (SR - Dalkeith) 32:27 [3] 6.19 km (5:15 / km) +47m 5:03 / km
ahr:165 max:176 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
Was with Wil but he didn't have headlamp and opted to do it by map memory so gave me a 1 min 30 headstart... I was determined to make him work for it so after saying ill go for 5:30-6min per km, dropped the hammer and set a 1km pb out of the blocks at 4:45 (pb for recorded times I am sure I've gone faster). Felt good so kept pace up next couple sub 5:15. I started to fade around the 3km mark and there started a little bit of climb.
Wil came past me on a dogleg so I knew he was an over a minute behind still and that spurred me to continue to push hard. started to feel weak around 4.5 km in pit of my stomach but just sucked it up knowing only 5 or so minutes to go and dug deep.
Felt good coming home strong though. Really noticed the difference between running on road and grass today grass better for legs but not even close to the power on push off also noticed my stride struggled to adapt to uphill and any not smooth surface... I think I need to work on getting those knees higher.
That said ended up with my fastest 5km on 26:04 - again of whats recorded. look forward to that being under 25.
Rachel did the courses in 32:01 once SR trims start and finish I am going to be mighty close to her time - never thought I would get close to that given my last attempt was 42:15 almost a year ago to the day! (just noticed) - Rachel got em by 6 seconds... Darn!
