Running race 17:02 [5] 3.1 mi (5:30 / mi) +20m 5:23 / mi
Llanelli Coast parkrun - 1st, 17.02
Annual random parkrun with other dravers.
Set off in the lead, comfortably hard pace, with some youngster breathing down my neck. Panting heavily after 200m it was clear he was well outside his comfort zone, though by the time we got to a mile in 5.29 I was doubting my judgement of this, and also wondering, with my own breathing relatively sedate, whether I was pushing enough.
But then came the hill and I was all alone. At the turn I was miles clear, so a solo effort back, 2nd mile 5.34 and watch died, pushed onto finish fairly hard, though think there was a bit more in tank, but clearly last mile must have been 5.25ish.
Lovely morning
