7.3 in 47.58 (6.35 pace)
Super slow this evening. We brought the club down to do a lap of the Rathfarnham 5k course, get them used to the route before Sunday, and I went on sweeper duty at the back. It's much easier to manage all the different standards in the club when we're doing short intervals and coming back to the same start point regularly. On a longer run like this, even at an easy pace, we get very, very strung out

Rathfarnham 5k 17.55 (chip time)
The more of these I do the less I can remember for the race reports - I think all the bouncing is damaging my brain:rolleyes:
I honestly wasn't expecting a lot from this, I've been tired all week and my knee was sore during the warmup. But, it's a local race, great course, there were about 30 from the club doing it (some as their first real race) as well as the boy and the OH, so there was no way I'd miss it.
Warmup was 5/10 minutes of easy jogging and then I got in position, good and close to the start because this race is always full of jokers. First k was fast. After telling all my clubmates to hold something back in the first straight, I hit 1k in 3.20 oops
.
So, 4k of hanging on for dear life
Things thinned out by the time I got to Terenure, and I spent most of the road up by Bushy Park swapping places with a guy from Raheny, which was great because it kept me focused during that long stretch. The pair of us slowly closed in on the group in front (though neither of us could do anything when one of the junior runners from Bros Pearse cruised by halfway down the road). ks 2 and 3 were 3.39 and 3.41, perfect
Turned the corner onto the home stretch again, and it was starting to hurt. Passed Mr Slow around the bridge, and got to the 4k mark in 3.36, helped by that downhill at the start line. Last k was long, but I managed to hold my place and pick up the pace a bit - 3.32 for the last k, including a sprint finish to pick up a place on the line
