Official Phoenix Park 5 Mile Race Results

Steven Moran 272 00:37:06 00:37:47 Alan McDonnell 55 00:31:14 00:31:34 *** I'll add in my race Report here... and keep it short; Training before this event was limited, my fricken achilles only setled down about a week before hand, but I had a good weeks training in the build up and wanted a crack at getting close to my PB. I had a target of 32 minutes or less. The first mile didn't feel particularly fast, but my new GPS watch read Five twenty something :O Way too fast! Little was I to know that I hadn't done a mile really though! I slowed for the next mile and that was six thirty something :O Way too Slow! So I settled at a pace in the middle of both miles for the rest of the race. I had consistently moved past people up until mile 3 and finally found myself in a group equally paced, all of whom had watches singing varies beepy tunes. I felt strong coming into the last mile and attacked any and all hills. The aul heart rate must have been hitting max but I was comfortable enough in a fast finish. Time was Thirty one Something.... which I'm happy with even with the short measure.... and most importantly, the achilles were only a little sore. So in conclusion- Farewell Asics Kayanos, I hated you! But will still use you... in the rain and the mud :P Alan *** Stephen McConkey Dublin 355 00:38:57 00:39:09 Barry Sheil Co.
