Coker Park 5000m - Small PB

Thursday morning ran the standard Perth Bridges 9.59km @ 4:36 HR 142 Ca84 653 bpk. Nice morning for it being cool, sunny and relatively wind free.

The evening at Coker Park was cold and blustery (17° 40% SSW30/39), not ideal for running but I had a great time. I warmed up with a 5:20 1500m and a few more laps. My 'arch-nemesis' Micheal Mezzatesta was there and we had a good race ; I was in the lead for a couple of laps, then he took over and built a 20m lead or so but then dropped off a bit and I caught him at about the 3k mark (after drafting for a lap and a bit) and won by about 5 seconds. We seem pretty closely matched and it seems to bring out the best. A PB for Michael too I believe.

Lap splits: 38/81.5/78.9/80.2/80.4/80.5/80.7/81.7/79.2/80.7/80.3/81.1/76.3 = 16:39.5

Km splits: 3:18.4/3:20.8/3:22.6/3:20.0/3:17.5 = 16:39.5 (3k : 10:01.9)

Very happy bunny.....
