Lee78 Jul 2018 9:04pm, 27 Jul 2018 241 posts	0 Lee78 Will parkrun tomorrow, 3 mile run there, race and 3 mile run home! 👍🏻 Legs feel like they are lacking urgency since last 10k race! Good luck everyone raving this weekend! 🤞🏻
J2R Jul 2018 11:24pm, 27 Jul 2018 1,313 posts	0 J2R Pleased enough with 29:53 for this evening's 5 miler, considering the temperature was 33C shortly before the race start, according to a couple of people's car thermometers (don't know how accurate they would be). Pacing was OK and I felt strong at the end. Mission was to get inside 30:00, so job done.

Uyuni Jul 2018 8:22am, 28 Jul 2018 1,443 posts	0 Uyuni Well done J2R, sub-30 and only a minute off your best is a bloody good effort in those conditions
J2R Jul 2018 9:45am, 28 Jul 2018 1,314 posts	0 J2R Thanks, guys. What I was most pleasantly surprised by was the strong finish. My first mile, slightly downhill, was my fastest, but my second fastest was the last mile, which is slightly uphill. I was really sprinting at the end and could have overhauled 3 other guys if I'd had another 200 metres or so, I reckon. Encouraging.

J2R Jul 2018 11:18am, 28 Jul 2018 1,315 posts	0 J2R Yes, Uyuni, by 2 minutes. I'm normally ahead of him, but if I run a bad race and he runs a good one, it can be close.
