Wednesday night was the 2nd of the PPTC 5K series. I went off faster than the previous one to see if I could improve on last times 18.24 effort. I guess these little midweek events on the same course let you try and approach the race differently to see what best works.
So it was a 5.57 opening mile up the hill, then a 6.04 2nd mile followed by a 5.44 downhill and 33 sec slog where I had nothing left.
The clock came into focus right on 17.59 and I really was hanging on as it was a bit warmer that night too. 18.21! A few seconds shaved off I guess although I get the feeling that going off a little slower and trying to finish faster feels the way to go but you just get carried along with who you're racing alongside too.
Trouble is, it's only going to get warmer and more humid here as the weeks go by!
