Thanks Hollywood, im going to contact the organizer of the race now and ask them about the distance, etc (not that im bothered at all haha)
Your right though that even if it is out then its a good time any way.
thanks for the reply's guys!!!!

Got my first (of 6) 5k handicap race of the season tonight...legs are telling me they don't want to run after Sunday's effort so I expect to put down a poor marker to start the series.

Positive thinking steve!!!!dont sell your self short because of a few aches. Fingers crossed your do great, start as you mean to go on (easier said then done haha)

Good luck, Steve

Just run really really fast; you'll be home and finished before your legs even wake up to grumble

How do you get in that league then, coz I'm not in there and I've done a few 5k races

Trin - all results are from the weekly free BPTT race (ahem - officially training run) held about just a couple of miles from home - http://bushy.parkrun.com. This week is the third birthday so it should be a big race (maybe 1000 people?)

There are also new variants in Wimbledon and Banstead and new ones starting in Leeds, Brighton, Zimbabwe (?!) and Richmond, with maybe more to follow...

Well 20:21 not going to win any prizes but not bad in circs and just 16secs off 2 year old pb so who knows by race 6 I may break 20mins!
Was 10th overall but didn't manage to catch SWMBO with her handicap ...she came in 5th.

Nothin overr yerr then

Great effort from you both! Well done to you and SWMBO

Cheers Trin.
SWMBO was 62 secs inside her estimated time so will have to work very hard to keep to her 5th place next time round as her start time will be adjusted accordingly. Her aim is to get down to 25mins for the 5k so she's got to knock off another 58 secs...I reckon she'll do it by the 4th race of the 6!
