3 mile leg of the Intervarsity road relays.
Great atmosphere at this event, it's a lot of fun.
Didn't really know what to expect of myself for this. Ran 16:46 for 5km on the track back in April, but that was in a race with others to help me, and I had more speed stuff under my belt then. In my head I decided I wanted to be doing pretty similar pace to that, and as this was a bit shorter, that would probably mean 16:15 - 16:30. Around 16:00 I would have been over the moon.
When I got running, a small DCU fellow caught up with me early, stuck behind him for a lap, since he was running quicker at first, I figured I'd try hang onto him, and then go for it around the sharp corners on the last lap, because he wasn't great in there. Turned out after about halfway I felt he wasn't running as quickly anymore, and I might make that move on lap 2. Ran the rest pretty solo, and kicked with 800m to go, for what felt like a strong finish.
Happy with the run, satisfied with the time. Work to do, but it's always like that. I didn't exactly rest up for this, which is reassuring.
Didn't wear a watch, so I don't know my lap times, but I'm pretty confident they were relatively consistent.

Got out for an easy one with Corbett and Quinn after my football match. My legs probably benefited from this.
