Not sure where it came from but 17.10 chip time at Sizzler 5k tonight.
Nearly missed the start as the 5 min warning gun went so I headed off to run another track lap to get my hr back up, only to find everyone poised to go fingers on garmins eyes on starter appx 2mins later as I was 50m away and my watch showing 7.27, start usually 7.30pm. Played it cool (Rodney), jogged it in and stepped into row 3 with polite apologies just as the gun went. Perfect position for me so chased a couple of guys for 4km before fading, lost only 2 places so not bad.
I'd written off this year's 5ks pretty much as the break needed after EfGB was longer than expected, so this was a very nice surprise.
Another go in 2 weeks all being well.
