jodie was pinged 45secs by the handicapper after her big PB last week but started 2 minutes early as she wasn't feeling 100%...she managed 30:17 and this week was wearing her new pair of "mi adidas" which are custom fit and you get to pick your own colour, trim and personal message - Jodie's message is "run2eat"
...i'll see if i can get a picture of them as they look really cool...speedygeoff decided not to race this one and elected to run with me...he even let me finish in front of him, such a gentleman, as i managed my 4th sub 22:00 time (just) with 21:58...
the stats:
start temp/humidity: 8.7/58%
start time: 12:28pm
total distance: 5.05k
total time: 21:58
avg pace: 4:21
total calories: 377
avg HR: 173
finish temp/humidity: 9.3/59%
wasn't sure how i'd go today so very pleased with the result even though i went back to my usual fast first k!...1k splits: 4:06, 4:20, 4:26, 4:27, 4:26...
the result of the point-score (Jan-Jun but not including today) was:
1st 730pts Paul B (from 21 runs)
2nd 718pts me (21) second consecutive time i have finished second
3rd 707pts Jodie (19)
on gross score i actually pipped Paul by 2pts but the four lowest scores are deducted and i lost 139 to Paul's 125...still i was pretty happy with how consistent i was over the series (highest position/points earned [4th/47] - lowest position/points earned [19th/32], )...my fastest run was 21:35, my slowest 24:08 and my average 22:30...i managed to break 22:00 for the first time...
Paul let me pick from the prizes first (another gentleman) & i chose the Guylian chocolates (which Jodie & Suze will get to share)...he then got the Tawny Port and Jodie got a bottle of wine which she promptly gave to FD for all her work (she won't drink it so looks like FlashDrake will be lucky)...btw, FD's latest creation was 5 cork boards joined with hinges to hold the handicap/results sheets...the hinges of course make it easier to carry on her bike!

Nice going AR!
VVery consistant.
I reckon you ought to use garmins Virtual partner to help you run even 4:20s and you should be able to get a new Pb in no time.
Nice of Speedy Geoff to let you through first also!
