first CR 5km challenge
just a v quick one cause i will be late to my course. but it was all good! i was so nervous before i started that i wouldn't even make the 5km. but i was lucky enough to get a lift to the start from CR andrewff53(52?) and when we arrived i saw loads of friendly faces that made me feel right at home. i started in the 30 minute group but as i mentioned my race plan was to go out as hard as i could, most likely to die in the last 3km but hopefully to keep going a bit further. i ended up keeping it going and crossed the line in 27.15 which i was really really ridiculously happy with!! a big PB for me! (well my first 5km ever but definitely faster than i would have been able to do it in the past!!).
it is a great way to do it, having everyone leave in increments so we all finish at the same time. it is possible that i could have tried a little harder, but as i have mentioned i have a low discomfort threshold... this felt hard enough!! am looking forward to improving that time though.
now off to psychoanalyse stuff.
