Triathlons are my New sport and I LOVE IT  

 

Recent last few years  as I havent done much since I was 16/17yrs, on and off injuries, going out with Friends started. Operations on injuries- compartment syndrome front of the shin had small operation to release the pressure on the fascia.

Oct 2007.  Did the great north run.  ( I was in the elite ladies race, against Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe, Im sure u Americans will recall that race).

 I was just in on my previous times from the Bath Half Marathon. I ran it as best as I could off my training & circumstances...

 

Decided to do my 1st Marathon with London looming in the following April I was in the ladies Elite race again.  So the training was on.  I realise now I didnt give my body enough time to recover as it did break down in the last 5 weeks of my training. Injury bound, with calf and hamstring problems I raced! 

London Marathon, April 08 (Injury calf issues) 1st marathon  3hrs.12mins .30 secs

Dublin Marathon  Oct 08  3hrs.01mins.13  undulating and 1 toilet stuck/stop (LOL)

Race day, and after such a big week for me, I was tired.

 5k. 17.43


NEWS IN official results was 17.41 mins well happy now! It was in Athletics weekly, in the uk. :))

 4th overall, men and women, and 1st lady.

The weather was good, sunny cool, and a slight breeze.

Started out at a good pace, felt Like I was holding back, although I usually go off at break neck speed in races, so It was a good pace, approx 5.45 pace.

got to  about 1k left and my legs started to feel heavy, so that was deffo from the week I have just done, and held the pace at 6mins just.

 

Course, was along seafront, and some ups and downs, steps and even some soft sand!

so made up with new pb. :-)

Very happy bunny.

Well done on winning and the new PB! Especially good considering the heavy training week, I'm sure you'll go even quicker when rested more.

From Barry on Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 17:22:16 from 75.174.5.124

Congratulations, that is an awesome time and place. When is your next race?

From sam on Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 18:05:44 from 90.201.147.253

Hi Chris, Thanks I am well made up, but tired, 5ks are hard, but I am not sore like halves or marathons so all good.

Barry, `Thankyou` 2 weekends away, Half Marathon, hoping for a good time too! ;)

Congrats...great race and pace! Your fitness is really showing, beat your time from 07 by 20 seconds! You are looking good for the Wilmslow half.

From Sasha Pachev on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 17:15:46 from 64.81.245.109

Congratulations on a PR! This is encouraging. Definitely enough speed for a 2:45 marathon, maybe even 2:40. But you will need more sleep to pull that off, I think.

From Sam Dean-howard on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 17:55:17 from 90.201.147.127

Sasha thankyou, it means allot for someone like you to say such things..... Im sorting out my sleep and its working recently but slightly hit and miss.... :-)
