Parkrun 5K

Drove out to Strathclyde Park to have a crack at the Parkrun and see what kind of shape I was in. The rain only came on when I was on my way there otherwise I might have had second thoughts. I was ambitiously aiming for 3:20 per kilometre, which I managed for the first one but it was only going to go one way after that. I managed to hold onto 4th place for a while but after watching my sub-17, sub-17:30 and even sub-18 hopes bite the dust I was passed by Nick Reid with about a mile to go, and I wasn't going to make up any ground into a headwind with tired legs. Finished in what was probably a PW of 18:19, average pace 5:54/mile.

Pace splits: 5:30, 5:58, 6:06, 5:38
