Showed up at 7am for my first CR 5km time trial around the Bay. Head out with Easy Tiger, Kanser and Sparkie on 16:30, with only Uncle Dave behind us at 16:00. Kanser pushed for the first 2km and I just tried to stick alongside him which meant us setting a good pace. Felt comfortable but knew we were travelling quite quickly. Tried to push to open a gap approaching the turn onto the main road at around 3km. Managed a small gap and was helped by starting to overtake some of the earlier runners. Then heard Sparkie catch up approaching 4km (couldnt tell whether it was him or Uncle Dave and was determined not to turn around to have a look!). Started to tire over the last km - not helped by not knowing where the finish line was. Put in a final burst when I saw where people were stopping. Finished up with 16:18. Sparkie finished on 16:22, Kanser on 16:28 and Easy Tiger on 16:47. Uncle Dave seemed disappointed with his 16:05.
Great event and good to put faces to some names. 2km jog before and 3km afterwards for 10km all up.
