Hi TheEd,
5km event done tonight. Disappointing I couldn't find the 3:30/km groove as I'd hoped. I got a stitch about half way around and my stomach felt like a clenched fist for the rest of the way; tough going.
The start was pretty frantic as it was downhill, explaining the first km split, then there were a couple of bridges to go up and down but I just couldn't settle into the pace I was aiming for. A bit of a shame as I'd been feeling pretty strong last week. My Garmin said 5.2km, so prob would've been about 18:00 if proper length course.
I was thinking of doing some off-time after this one, but now might do one more cycle and have another crack at a 5km pb. Will let you know.
