St. Cocoas 5k garmin time 21'55
As we have 'sign up to all races' syndrome, my racing partner Ro and I headed down to Kilcock yesterday pm for this one. My PB is 21'15 so was hoping for a sub 21.
Met a lot of familiar faces down there, we're all very secretive
After a quick registration and warm up, lined up and off we went. I didn't have any pressure on me or any nerves. Maybe I should have. From the start to the finish, it was like I wasn't even trying. I was running but there was no urgency or determination. I pulled up for a few seconds at one stage, thought I was going to be sick, that was all in my mind. The legs weren't hurting, my breathing was pretty normal. It was like I didn't 'engage'. Even in the last k I ran behind a group which I eventually overtook but was happy to run behind them (eavesdropping!) for a few minutes. Absolutely no competitive edge to be found.
Disappointing performance really, but I have signed up for the 5k in Navan on Wed. That might be better....or worse. We'll see.
Ah - go easy on yourself- that Kilcock course is not really a PB course because of that rotten hill we have. But if you really wanted to do a good under 21 - either Johnstown near Enfield or Kinnegad next year (just a little bit further down the N4) - Both of these races brilliant PB flat courses - thats where I got under 30 mins and I would never get that in Kilcock. 0 -

No I mean we talked about pacing in general and you recommended it and mentioned something about getting me a pacing gig in the midlands half
I see that ship has sailed 0 -

You can be first sub
(I actually have had all the slots already full since April, that must have slipped my mind in Cork
)
I have heard that Oylegate is a nice lowkey debut pacing-race and Izoard is an old hand at the pacing so you will be in good company. Enjoy.0 -

I guess I should update the log a little bit. I'm ticking away with my running and am abstaining from races for the foreseeable future. I'm trying to introduce some speedwork into my runs and some HMP and MP miles. Luckily this pace isn't an issue. I'm up to 16.5 miles for my Lsr. I also passed the 1,000 mile mark on Sunday!
Epic reporting
. Congrats on the 1000 mile mark 0 -
