ACT 5000m Championships
Once again huge field of 35 toed the line, perfect weather and a top notch field.
Cut to the chase: KT 19:45.04 ; SB 15:55.04...both elated
Of kt: Stuck to the plan and had a great run. Aided by Mel driving in front, setting a strong pace, kt only dropped off in the last kilometre and only by 10 or so seconds. Well deserved after the Tuesday session on her own. That was a tough session which paid off.
Of me: Got on the rails early, 72 second first lap which slowed to a 9:29 3km split. Had a nice bunch to follow until 3.4km. When they slowed by a couple of seconds on successive laps I attacked them and did the last 4 laps on my own. Fastest 5000m since my comeback in 2007. Nothing quicker since 1992...20 years!!!
Results from Thursday to come.
