Race Night

The pressure was on to run a quick time tonight...

I ran an easy lap of Hansen's as a warm-up with Barry. Then changed into my spikes and before I knew it the race was underway. I went through the first km in 3:01 which was a bit disappointing. The second km was run in 3:05 and I managed to quicken slightly running the last km in 3:03. All up 9:09.

Felt pretty strong throughout and pleased with the time which is my best 3000m at Mingara. I finished 3rd overall with Mark winning and Cale running second. I'm confident of breaking the 9 minute barrier later in the year with focus on speedwork on the track.

I ran 1.6km as a warm-down so all up 10.7km. Knee behaved also which hasn't been the norm lately...
