Did my first 5 mile race on Friday. I was hoping for around 40 minutes, but went a bit mental and finished in 36 minutes and 15 seconds. I've absolutely no idea how it happened - my fastest ever 2 mile run in training was 15 mins 20 - but when I got to the 2 mile point in the race my watch said 13 minutes 58 seconds

Then, I just hung on for the next 3 miles. It kind of hurt but kind of felt good aswell...

Still grinning:d

Nice result.

From what I gather the race carries you with it. At least that is what I am hoping on Sunday.

Great result indeed! Incredible what race day adrenaline can do for you eh? I'm NEVER able to re-create race speeds in training!
