BHAA 6KM First race of the season
It was the first race of the season and only 2 full sessions completed after covid so i was a bit nervous doing this race and didn't really know what to expect. Oisin, Daniel, Charlie, Alfie and Peter were all racing today so it was a good way to judge what to do at the start. It wasn't the fastest course but a fair course. It started at the bottom of a gradual hill and we did the first mile in 5:15 when i looked at the watch so then i started to get worried that is it too fast. I dropped back from the lads but could see them up the road. The next mile was sort of downhill and tried to calm down and did a 5ish. The next mile was sort of flat/ up hill again. Peter was with me so tried to race him. I past him for a bit but them he kicked on up the hill and went off in the distance. I could see alfie and oisin in front of me so for the last 1km tried to catch them and was doing 5:20 ish average nearly catch oisin in the end and felt strong.
Charlie 19:43 Daniel 20:02 Peter 20:19 Alfie 20:22 Oisin 20:29 Andrew 20:30
