From the gun James and Sean had a gap, maybe 15m after the 1
st km. Then we turned left and the wind was right into our faces. I was with Brian H and Marty O'K at this stage. Had decided when Sean and James had a gap that the best was 3
rd if i played the tactics right so i sat with the guys until the turn at 2.5km. Then moved a bit after a surge that they didnt track and i got a gap. Turned at Ballynamona cross and worked for home without looking back, thought Brian was closer since Michael (who was watching) was shouting at him very soon after i passed.
Not the fastest 5km time but 3
rd is a good day at the office especially considering the weather conditions. Won a pair of nike running gloves, a draw string Ballycotton running promotions bag and a big box of biscuits!
