A/R 5k TT 25th April ‘20.

Swashbuckler · 25-04-2020 07:47AM

18.06 for me. Suffered the 5k pain which in hindsight is great.

Lost the sub 18 with overly conservative second and third km.

Must do a race report for the training log. Couple of big performances already on strava this morning! Well done everyone and cheers again B.

Zebra3 · 25-04-2020 07:54AM

22:22.

Came in under predicted time, but I'm so unfit.....

Slow_Runner · 25-04-2020 08:00AM

20:38 for me. Underestimated how tough it is when on ur own. Was iffy about starting as calf was very tight for last couple of days but went ahead and would bail if it acted up.
Just didn't have a sub 20 in me, struggled after 1 mile and the lactic acid in the legs for last 500m was unreal, without anyone to try and focus on I couldn't push through the 5k pain.
Ah well, a good honest time trial, well done all and best of luck to those yet to run

Oh and registration and number pick up was very sparse, no toilets at start area, no corrals, total bedlam

!

djemba djemba · 25-04-2020 08:00AM

18:20 for me.

Itziger · 25-04-2020 08:09AM

18:36 for me. A small bit disappointed tbh. Splits were 3.40, 3.40, 3.55, 3.41, 3.39. That fooking 3rd km must have been wrong!!!

All in all though, good fun and a decent workout. And a few bob raised for charity.

Are we taking the activity time or the 5Km time from Strava? Very little in the difference I know but wanted to check.

I’m not going to be popular with some on this one, I’m taking activity time not 5km Strava one.

Thanks. Just wanted to be consistent with everyone.

MisterDrak · 25-04-2020 08:27AM

20:37 for me. Gave it everything i had but the lack of sessions and long runs told a story. Have a lot of work to do to get below 20 in 2020...

Anyway really enjoyed it and a big thanks to Oonegative for organising.

Interesting to see the final league table tomorrow.

py · 25-04-2020 08:33AM

22:14 which is a ~20 second PB. Really happy with that after just coming back from injury and eating/drinking myself into oblivion during this lockdown.

Well done to all, some great results in thus far.

Thanks for organizing OOnegative. Looking forward to the next one.

IvoryTower · 25-04-2020 08:35AM

18.15

Dirty.

Lambay island · 25-04-2020 08:36AM

16.56 for me -over the moon with that. Cheers B thanks for organising and hope you are on the mend. I really enjoyed this and the charity side was a great idea too.I had 2 nights off the booze which is also a record for me since lockdown. It wont be 3 though.

I was able to get into race mode and picked a route i knew well which helped alot. I sprinted the last 200 metres and I was absolutely dead on my feet after.

crisco10 · 25-04-2020 08:38AM

18:33 on the watch for me. Unofficial PB so delighted.

I usually rely on being dragged along in races so was curious how is do on my own. Turns out not too bad. Even enough splits too 3.41; 3.48; 3.44; 3.42; 3.37.

I did a 3 x 1 mile session 10 days ago. Must tally to see how close that was as a predictor.

Thanks a million for organising. Genuinely feels like a race day on here and on Strava.

Murph_D · 25-04-2020 08:39AM

21:03. Sounds slow but a good honest run and the course wasn’t easy with a mostly uphill first half. Silver lining was a downhill mile 3 but never going to get all the time back. Can’t say I enjoyed it and the last 200m was gruesome. As predicted based on last week’s club mile TT, so can’t complain.

Well done Barry - get well. Donation donated.

justdoit · 25-04-2020 08:40AM

Way off where I used to be, way off where I’d like to be, but probably where I deserve to be. Optimistically estimated 19:20 but was holding on at the end for 19:55.

Also need to add disclaimer that total elapsed time was 20:23- saw a lady a couple of hundred metres ahead with a buggy and then saw a teddy bear in front of me on the path, so I stopped, picked it up, caught her up and gave it back. May mean my time doesn’t count? Either way, thanks to Oonegative for organising and to everyone e for keeping me semi motivated during this weird period. Off to eat food and collect my Good Samaritan award ðŸ˜‰

Laineyfrecks · 25-04-2020 08:42AM

20:36 for me! Slower than my prediction time but I am honestly thrilled with it. It's an unofficial PB for me. There's a few things i could have done differently but will learn for next time. Mentally & physically tough doing it alone so well done to everyone who goes out & completes it today

The lycra shorts that fit perfectly for my last race were a bit on the snug side haha time to focus on my eating habits now I think :eek:

Really enjoying seeing all the results come in! Cheers B for organising and donations made, also donated to Pieta House!

career move · 25-04-2020 08:43AM

21:51

I'm glad that's done. Thanks Barry for organising. No way in hell would I have done it without this group. Thanks everyone

My 'Activity' time included wheezing on my knees after an official 3.11m and the subsequent cool down. So to comply I've put screen shots from my garmin onto Strava for you. If not good enough, no worries.

I set the garmin 'distance target' to 5k but the clock kept going even when I finished the target. I had a 5k TT set up as a workout but forgot to remove the warm up and cool down segments.

Thanks again for organising this. Wonderful community we have here.

Lazare · 25-04-2020 08:46AM

Cracking reading in here this morning, haven't really got onto Strava yet, just catching up here. Excitiing stuff.

Some cracking performances. Coogy, you're gonna have to go again before midnight

Great day for it.

Hannibal_Smith · 25-04-2020 08:52AM

I was never going to officially join this. But thought... I'll do it myself and not tell anyone. So I dropped a few quid to the charity the other day, and gave it a sneaky go this morn.

My 5k loop takes me 38 mins (I know

). The last few days I've tried it...come home wrecked and thought..feck it...that's all I can do. The dog ate my earphones and I thought ah sh*t will I bother?

But sure...no one will know and I've to run any way, so I may aswell stick to the plan. I abstained from the beer last night and got up early this morn. My plan was to try to keep it at 12 min per mile, or under if you feel ok (yeah I know

) and I might surprise myself. It was so hard...I nearly gave up at Womble Hill and a I had to pass a woman with a buggy

. There were loads of runners out and I gave them sneaky looks to see if they were doing the TT too

I had planned at the end to pick a point ahead for the finish line and peg it to it, but by then I was counting in my head until the pain was over and just trying to hold it together without dying

So it ended up being 35.42. Nothing official because I didn't sign up so it's all pointless but I'm delighted

and feel like sharing it.

Thanks Oneg for getting me moving would never have tried it otherwise. Hope you're not suffering too much and are better soon!

ReeReeG · 25-04-2020 08:54AM

21.56 for me, fair bit quicker than my actual 5k PB of 22.40. Bizarrely, I think I run better without people around me! I'm buzzing after it though as if it was an actual race morning, despite thinking halfway through that I never want to run a 5k ever again

Thanks for getting it together Ooneg!
Made the donation the other day

66_Lad · 25-04-2020 08:55AM

16:50 for me, left quad issues for last 4ks so that was first hard session in a mth... It HURT! Happy enough, thought I may be closer to 16:30 as doing a lot on the turbo but not to be. Wore Nike Pegasus Turbo's. Let's hope the body holds up now after that blow out.
Thanks for organising, great seeing all the individual efforts this morning in the strava group.
Now off to the cycling ireland zwift race!

IvoryTower · 25-04-2020 08:55AM

Can someone throw up the link to the charity again sorry...

MrSkinny · 25-04-2020 08:59AM

Reality check for me: 21:42. I'd chosen a challenging course but I was still hoping to at least sneak in under 21'. Felt great during the warm up but I was way off pace from the start: had planned to set off at 6:30 pace for the first half mile (on the flat) but I only managed to get to 6:54 pace. Managed to keep that pace going on the long uphill stretch, then struggled during a tougher than expected middle mile (7:13). Recovered somewhat as the course turned kinder and managed a slightly faster 3rd mile in 6:48 before straining for the line. Still, pleased with the honest effort if not necessarily the time, and have to say it felt like I wouldn't have been able to go any faster today even in a race setting.

Well done to everybody who took part and thanks again to B for organising the event.

When is the next one in the series?

healy1835 · 25-04-2020 09:02AM

17:27 for me. Rather than say everything went wrong, I'll say that not a lot went right

beautiful morning though and it reminded me that it's great to be part of this little alcove of the internet/running community. Looking forward to the 10 Mile TT next month already

Brilliant, delighted to see this!! Every right to be chuffed with yourself and thank you for sharing.

ariana` · 25-04-2020 09:03AM

22:55 for me and i'm delighted with that. Admittedly my course was a bit softer than i realised with a net loss - not that it felt soft when i was running it. I'll have to run it in reverse next time

PB is 22:42 and i'm delighted that I'm not a million miles away from that. I wasn't going to do for most of the week as it hasn't been a great week on a few levels but in the end i decided if nothing else it would give me a benchmark to improve on.... so now i have my benchmark :eek:

Well done everyone. I'm looking forward to catching up on Strava tonight with a G&T in one hand

Thanks a million B for organising this event. I hope you're feeling much better x

TFBubendorfer · 25-04-2020 09:16AM

19:44 on the treadmill, and retrospectively I know I could have gone a good bit faster. Unfortunately, I'm 100% sure the same effort would not translate into a 19:44 on the roads.

EnPassant · 25-04-2020 09:17AM

23.42 for me - a bit off target but glad to have done it. Thanks for organizing!
