GF pushing yourself at 5k not so soon after 10K I'm not surprised your legs are toast, another good time considering.

PO good luck.

42:52 and 34th out of what was apparently a full 250 strong field!

Schoolboy error I knew my mile splits, but hadn't worked out km splits and as the Garmin overestimated the distance even if I had been able to stick to my schedule I might have missed 42. As it was by 4k's my legs were feeling it and I was 19 seconds behind schedule at half way. Lost another 30 seconds on the way back, only lost two places in the second hal though and overtook one person,

km splits 4:00, 4:05, 4:16, 4:22, 4:21, 4:21, 4:19, 4:20, 4:15, 4:26, 4:12, + 0.19 (Garmin came out at 6.26 miles)

I wasn't as good a stopping shots from the kids in the back garden this afternoon.

Thoroughly enjoyed the race and met up with a couple of old work colleagues.

Good luck Clare. Hopefully the flier of a half you had should give you the confidence to blitz 42 :)

Having found 42.52 yesterday, I feel this is a gang for me now!

Sub 42 over the next few months perhaps....
