5000m SML track race.

In true usual covbaldy style i prepared badly by drinking lots of beer the night before. It was touch and go if I could make it or not, ran 1 mile there to see how it felt, not good!

But I gave it a go and it was a PB although i was so close the the 16.xx gutted!

First mile a tad quick in 5.18

Wheels feel off about 6 and i was hanging on in the last mile, good prep i guess for when its my day!.

16.22 at 3 miles, so you do the maths.

Painful but I'll have another go maybe in the last race of the season.

Cracking running by BrotherJohn he was just too hot for me today!

Cheers to DazMan and DC for the support, i needed it!

Well done on the PB Alan, it's a shame you missed that sub 17 by such a small margin, but it's obviously there on the right occasion. They gave you 17:02 by the way, they always seem to add a second on at the track.
DC aka Kip Connell
Great run and a PB should always be celebrated even when you miss a target you set yourself. Sub 17 for sure in 2 weesk time if you run at Woodford? Happy to shout encouragement then again and perhaps with a slightly slower first mile the sub 17 will be easily achievable.

Cheers DC, your spot on, amazing to think those few seconds at the start could have cost me soo much at the end! Track is so much about running a very consistent pace esp over the longer distances. Good lesson learnt. Not sure if we are at woodford, is that SML?
