So, Boscombe 5k came and went, a new PB, but I need a bit more practice at these 5k things, only the second one I've ever run! Pacing, and how hard to go etc, I have to learn all that. But I felt good and ran at a level of effort I would normally run for 10k, so pleasing. Well done Lawrence Down who came in with a solid PB of 18:30 something.
Sandy Balls duathlon on Sunday, and sore throat and hectic life aside, I feel in good shape, if a little tired. What a difference a good night's sleep makes though. Slept for a solid 8 hours last night, and can't remember the last time that happened. Most refreshed today and looking forward to a good lunchtime run session.
Good turnout at Sandy Balls in the women's race, should be a good one. Emma Dews, Helen Dyke, Kat Grimmet and Ceris Styler head a class field, all of them World/European duathlon champs of some description, other than Ceris, sister of some triathlete by the name of James Gilfillan! She was a two times winner of the British time trial Grand Prix series in her younger years and is making a return to racing. She won her last triathlon back in September in Stratford by over 6 minutes and was 2nd at Swanage sprint tri behind the overall winner. Both girls there beat all the men!! So Sandy Balls promises to be a good race. Check out http://www.racenewforest.co.uk for more info. Starts at 8am on Sunday, directions to race are all there. Well worth going down to watch.
