One mega PB

This morning did the Cool Running Sydney 5km Challenge more to see what level I was up to than anything. Dash_Incredible gave me a lift down to drummoyne, something of which I am very grateful for. Starting with the 21 min group and high hopes I clocked an awesome 1:21 PB of 20:58. Despite the overcoast weather the good company more than easily made up for it.

As usual probably went out too hard leading the pack for the first 2km apparently at about 4 min pace although I couldn't maintain it and soon dropped back through the pack where I sat with sfGnome and later a few meters behind himwith Miss Skarmel. However I was able to pick up the pace over the last few hundred meters to make up for lost ground and get the time I wanted.

This is my first PB since the Sydney half and it gives me great confidence. I hope to get to do it sometime again. Well done to all the other PBers and thanks for all the company from everyone there most of whom I know browse over this direction every once in a while. For all those keen see you at the Summer Series on Wednesday
