Varsity athletics 5000m - 3rd
Not the ideal post Tio recovery but the dates/times had made this just about doable to be on the start line and I was very keen to race. Sleep deprived and heavy legged but unfortunately knew the Cambridge girls were in similar if not better shape than me and both could close harder so I had to take it on. No one wanted to lead so I set off and we'd quickly dropped the other Oxford girl and the 2nd team runners. Basically lead for 4.2km then got absolutely done by both of them. Had nothing to give when they went past, and definitely couldn't match the 71,71 that Phoebe closed in. Probably should've kept pushing the last km but I was pretty done and no hope of catching. Bit frustrating but not surprising and don't think I could've raced it differently and got a different result. Good day, and to be able to run that quickly post Tio is definitely a result.
