Beaches Spring Sprint 5K - Race Report
Printer friendly version
Posted on: Monday April 06 09:19:06 AM
Color me dumb.Though it was a PR for 5K...by a few seconds. 20:09, I am bummed that I blew another shot at sub 20.
OK, I'm over it now. What happened? I started out, into the heavy winds along this waterfront trail with the front of the packers - big mistake. I realized that at about half a km in, at 3:20 pace I was wheezing, and it took a while to recover. I recovered for too long as you can see from my splits!
1k - 3:56
2k - 4:16
3k - 4:10
4k - 4:06
5k - 3:41
This Friday, we do it all again, another 5k - hopefully in better conditions and smarter pacing.
The best news is that Sarah smashed her 5k PR with a 19:3, 8th female overall and again beat me by half a minute!!!!
Cameron ran the 2K (at his cross country coach's request not to run the 5k) where he finished 2nd in the 9 and under and 14th overall with an 8:04.
Poor Anita sat another race out, but on the bright side had a great appointment this morning with her new PT and some accupunture which apparently went over quite well!
