Club		 PB SB Pred Time WAVA
Cavey God knows what to expect here?? Haven't done a 5k for ages, and its a few days after Christmas, but i'd like to think I can get a big PB here. UPDATE - to be honest i was dreading this!! Stuffed my face for the last few days and barely moved from the sofa, but once i was under way I felt ok. The course was quite tough with a swirling wind and some steady inclines, but i PB'd so pretty chuffed. There is definitely room for improvement though!

Cormorant This from my watch because we were still in the cafe at the start (sigh). The new route didn't seem to be as steep as the old one, or maybe I'm just not as out of condition as I thought. Well, it shows there's a long way to go (in all senses) before Blackheath in April.

DIY Diva Fantastic course, very pleased with my effort. Felt like lead at 1k. LOL Nice banter with Mr D Norman, Miss K Bangham and Mr K Gearney.

gray First race after Christmas to prove I could still run. Letting the field have a two minute head start wasn't an ideal race strategy but I'm usually only competing with myself anyway. Rather a lot of work to do before April 13th....

Kieren Really bad race for me. I twisted my ankle 3 weeks ago at bedford 1/2 marathon and haven't run since - till today. A bit stupid really as I had no lactate threshold had ran out of steam 3 times having to slow to a walk. I'm also limping again now I think I've put the ankle back 2 weeks. Conditions were pretty tough with wind from every angle. Glad I finally got to use the Garmin

Kirsty A minute slower than October but just as painful. It was very windy and Kieren was quite right there is no such thing as a tailwind when you are running. My A race buddies were so exhausted by their effort they didn't even come to see me and DIYD finish!

Peteb69 Sorry to those who bet on me training not gone to well this month due to illness. Was ontrack for a good time uptill 3km then it was a struggle just to finish the wind didn't help.
