5k - 17:35. PB’d but disappointed as I wanted sub 17:30. Had a really bad moment at 2000m to go where I nearly gave up and lost a few seconds. Powered through the pain though. I’m pretty sure that if fresh I’ll beat 17:30. The grind goes on

Great work Anthony, you did really well to pull it back together. There's a 17:30 in there, it's just a fair old distance to be really dialled in for!

Good fight :lol:
Same goal for me to catch. Pretty sure I can do that, as my latest 6k was nearly on track for that. But have to do so and not only pretend.

Nice 5k and plenty of time for another go. I always found the 5k to be a distance that needs chipping away at rather than carving big chunks. You are always on the edge with plenty of time to have bad thoughts :lol:

Thanks guys. Will definitely get there. Been training hard lately so legs were tired from the outset. Shouldn’t have done it today really but starting taper for next Saturday from tomorrow, so last chance to give it a go prior to game day.

Well done on 100m sascha, looking strong!

Every time I've gone sub 17:30 I've always had a massive moment with about 1500m to go, so you definitely were on the edge, and I agree with Rocky, you need to treat it with respect and chip bits off. Next time will be better, but this is still a great result

Fixed that for you! Best of luck, pretty bummed I'm not there now, hopefully next year... Look forward to hearing about it!
