It was the 5000 metres on the track today. Once again, I spent a short time in the morning by the pool. My race was at 20:00 so I headed to the main stadium at mid-afternoon. I saw a number of my chums, including Sally & David, Ian Snow, and Barrie & Katie. Keith also came to watch. I was in the middle race of three. I would have expected to run 23 minutes and something. I ran 23:08.08 so that was not too bad. Ian Mitchell was in my heat. He was quicker than me in the 10K road race but I was quicker than him this evening. After the race Keith, Barrie, Katie and myself had some food and a beer in the bus station cafeteria.

I'll be there again next Sunday morning, hopefully in better shape. What I said in the group... Went with Geraint's 8 am crew for an LSR. The Lliswerry 8 plus a bit more. I've done a couple of weeks hard training so I was weary, I engineered a short cut and called it a day at 11 miles. Two rest days now. Which to quote a wise man "will be nice".
