Comments:

Another PR at the half distance. My 5k was 19:45, when punched into Mcmillan I got a 1:30:50 so I paced roughly on that. 2 seconds difference, crazy.

What would you do differently?:

Start going quicker on the last 5k instead of 4k.

Post race
Warm down:

Stretch, huge after-race breakfast with pancakes, bacon, sausages etc.


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Volume in the last month was not perfect as we just had a baby.


Event comments:

Best race to end the season on.
