Now audit today so busy day catching up on everything that had been put off - and had to buy my own lunch!
Work handicap 5k around Little Stoke winter course in the dark. All the people at my ability dropped out of this one so chasing down a 5 minute gap in front of me - so this was more of a time trial than a race.
Slow-ish as understandably tired from two hard days in a row beforehand - so knew pretty quickly from my splits that sub-20 wasn't going to happen - also taking the bends quite slowly as slippery and leaves there.
Mark seemed to be gaining ground quite consistently for the first two full laps but the gap didn't seem to close over last lap - splits show I did last k 15s quicker than the middle three.
Finished fourth, but the three in front of me all claimed it was their first time - so maybe I get the trophy for the next month?
Suppose it's reasonable training - 5ks are definitely getting easier to "race" now.
