5k Time Trial / Tempo/ Slow Run

Had planned originally to run the 800s with Kanser today but when The Chairman Tommy H puts a call out to go and do some 400s with him Kanser was soon giving me the brush off to join our leader.
So left by myself i decided to see where i was at and gave the 5k a hit out around my course within Centennial Park. Did a 6.5k warm up prior and then got straight into it , Knew i wasn't in any type of shape for this especially after racing Sunday and even after the first 1k when i went through in 3.47, Managed to hold the next two similar but then on the harder parts of the final 2ks i lost it a little to stop the clock with a less then impressive 19.14
The 5 splits as i saw them were. 3.47, 3.48, 3.48, 3.54, 3.55
Still its were I'm at and there's not hiding - just need to get out and do the work i suppose, but at least it now gives me something to work on :(
Another 6.5k cool down with a client gave me 18ks for the day so happy enough to log a few more.

This coming Thursday is the HuRTS 'Night of Nights' Presentation, to take place at the Tilbury Hotel, Woolloomooloo. Always a cracker of a night, and tomorrow i will give my tips and predictions on who i see will walk away with the top awards for the year.
Lets just hope the Chairman can stand up long enough this year to hand the awards out after his now infamous evening 12 months back.
I have requested that ALL that went to Munich and attended the Oktoberfest dress up in there Lederhosens and fancy shirts to make a real night of it - lets hope the guys come to the party.

Cheers
