First 5k race of the series PB by 50 secs (unofficial)

Aim was to beat 20.32 and hopefully get near or under 20 min (my 2011 5k target), wasn't sure how confident I felt so just thought I would start off and aim for 6.25m/m pace and go from there.

Start was crowded and there were loads and loads of WJ there, really good to see. Bit of hanging around and then the gun went off (well actually it didn't someone whispered, go). Quite crowded at the start and ended up going a little too quick, first half mile and I was ahead of my target pace and there were some in front who I knew had gone far too fast, stuck to my game plan and carried on. First mile went and garmin said 6.12m/m slightly ahead of target but not silly so was happy, Mr HH was just in front so I kept him in my sights, around 1.5miles and overtook Mr HH and had also passed some of the early runners who must have thought 5k was a lot shorter judging by the speed they went off at !

Second mile was slightly slower at 6.21m/m but this then gave me 17 secs 'credit' for slowing down or in case the course was 'long'. Although hard work actually felt fairly comfortable (well as comfy as you get doing a 5k). Last mile made up for it but was never in any danger of slowing right up, looked behind and Mr HH was behind a little way and thought it was a large ish gap, anyway didn''t check over my shoulder for the last 100m or so and suddenly with about 20m or so a blaze of yellow went past, I tried to pick up my pace but Mr HH had timed it perfectly and beat me by a sec, however I didn't really mind as I had gone well below my target I got the course slightly long at 3.13miles. Even so it gives me my best WAVA to date at 66.90

Some other great times and good to see the large turnout, gives me a new target for the end of the series now and will 'enjoy' the training.
