Amy finishing
Originally uploaded by jumbly
Originally I was going to ride over and dump my stuff in Jumbly's car but Ali decided she didn't want to ride to cheer me on but drive and that I was coming with her. Then there was a change of plan where she decided she might run so put her running kit on. We got there and she entered and it wasn't long before the start. I got away a little quicker than her and Jumbly at the start so I was waiting for them to come past me when I started struggling. The whole way round I was tracking the same guy which made me run hard but I could still breath and could have just responded if someone spoke to me. Coming into the finish I was expecting Ali to do her usual sprint finish so I kept pushing and finished in front of her.
Garmin Stats:
Distance: 3.09miles (So I registered just under 5k but it does sometimes slightly under-measure)
Time: 24'55"
Pace: 8'05 min/mile WOW!!!
Official time was 24'53" Which placed me 6/12 in my category and 58/80 overall
Well done to Jumbly who won her category!
At the end I got my picture taken with Ron Hill, who finished a couple of places ahead of me.
Wow!!!! That is quick.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Ali can now run on her knee.
yeh, bet you're really pleased with that pace-nice one!
ReplyDeleteWell Done!! You are fast!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo! Told you you would suprise yourself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you were right Julbags. Shows that the running I have been doing and all the cycling for the last year has made a big difference! Will definetly try a few more running events!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was cycling a lot more I was a faster runner over short distances. I am much better over longer runs now but don't have the same speed, weird. Once this DIY frenzy is out of the way I need some longer offroad rides.
ReplyDeleteHow odd, I guess its all to do with specific training. If you fancy some more DIY I have a house that needs lots doing!
