By "2K PB" I mean your current age-group best time, not what you did in college years ago, on a bet, for a candy bar, against a girl...

I have set PB's in both races and individual TT's at the gym. My last PB was in a 'live' race, and I have only ever raced twice and PB'd both times.<br><br>ps In my opinion there is something special about setting a PB under race conditions when the pressure is on to perform, and I take much greater pleasure out of these 'times'

My first race ever, more than four years ago was a PB of 7:25.4. Ten times over the next three years I lowered it, taking a total of 29.9 seconds off. Five of those improvements were time trials and five were live races. So, pretty much even.<br><br>When I ran a lot I could never do a time trial as fast as I could do a race. Erging seems very different in this regard. Maybe my adrenal glands have been emptied after all those running races. <br><br>Rick

Rick, At sea level all were done in races, at altitude they were done at time trials and races. dennis

Luckily I've pb'd in all my race except one horrendous fly and die in Portsmouth, failed by 2 seconds, oh and Boston when i was ill.<br><br>I like races and expect to pb every time in a race.<br><br>Done 3 x mile races and pb'd in each and 1 x 5k race and pb'd.

Did my PB as part of a team trial the week before the UK GP final in 2003. In the race I went 0.1 sec slower! <br><br>Xav
