Sale Sizzler 5km 17.48 Gun time. 180bpm average ouch. Started slowly relative to the crowd then worked my way through. 64th overall 10th v40.

Winner was timed at 14 something. Rapid.

Probably did myself no favours eating a big pasta dinner 1hr before start. Glad I refused Garlic Bread... Light snack beforehand then dinner afterwards next time, 2 weeks away.

Edit: 17.41 chip time

I think most nutritionists recommend your last meal is 3 hours before your race. I reckon you were lucky not to see that again, especially with that average heart rate.

Eating on the move for the long stuff has maybe had an unseen benefit I guess? I did eat far too late but at 4.30pm I was at work with no useful food options & a journey to make, so was hungry once home.

Better food planning needed for the next one though.
