Warmed up with Coach and his crew but had to start earlier than the rest as a result of running out of time. One of the fast girls called Davina was to pace me through 800m in 2:20 and then I had to hold on for another 3 laps. Felt great in the warm up and strides and conditions were cool with a bit of wind down the back straight. Main issue was a very busy track meaning a bit of weaving required.
Davina went off hard and we were though 200m in 32s. 800m in 2:18, 1km in 2:52 and finished in 5:49.7.
New PB for me today and felt able to push hard on the final lap. Probably eased off a bit too much on lap 3.
Only time for a short warm down before jumping in the car.
Fighting off a sore throat. But this was a confidence booster if I can keep it at bay.
