CR5k Bunny
Early start on Saturday morning for the CR5k. I decided 27xx sounded good and discovered that Owl and Sista Chris were also keen for that. Brad, from Runclub was there for his first CR5k and decided to join us and Pipe (returning from injury) decided to hang in for as long as possible. We actually left at 28mins because we thought we might get mown down in the last k by the group targeting sub 16.
1k we did 5.27. This was looking good. 2k another 5.26, great. 3k, 5.27 , amazing. I started to pull away a bit here and Sista Chris came with me. 4k 5.22. At this point Chris moved ahead but I knew it was too early in the last k for me so just worked at holding the gap. About 250m from the end I picked it up and drew alongside and together we crossed the line for 26.58 (5.16 for last k). Absolutely amazed to take 57secs off last month and very happy to be heading in the right direction towards the old PBs.
Turns out I unwittingly acted as a bunny for Owl to chase and she managed a 16 sec PB. Good stuff :-)

Those early splits are so consistent - very impressive. And what a nice strong finish. That run has to give you lots of confidence. TA is back!!!
Nice work helping your fellow runners too. That's just as satisfying as doing a good run yourself, don't you think. The Easter Bunny was a week early :)
Sensational run TA. Tesso is right - you are BACK! Woohoo!
Good on you TA - that's excellent! The 'speeding up' 4th and 5th k hints that you could probably go out a little quicker next time.
Great run from Owly too!
Very consistent splits from one who has been out of ruuning for so long. That freespirit must be training you well. Keep it up and the PB's will fall in no time.
Top Effort, TA!
It's great to see you hitting some consistent form.
Cheers,
Ben
That's a fantastic improvement over a month.. great to see!
