BIRDWELL CLUB '5' CHAMPS - Park Springs - 18th June 2019

1st Overall / Sheffrec Club and Birdwell Course Record
Gatecrashing the rarely raced 5 miler, the Birdwell Club Champs - a gratuitous attempt in attempting to break 10 mins (not fast, 5 roundabouts?), the course record and the Sheffrec club record on a rare (for this season) warm and fairly still evening. Smashed the race winning by a margin, finishing in 10-08....breaking the Birdwell club course record and also my own Sheffrec club record - good fun, and a great blast, hitting 380w average 😳🚴‍♀️💨💨

[Really good attack on a '5', although as no officials to have the race, there was a debate on whether to cancel...so I didn't warm up properly....really expect a '5' to hurt very similarly to an 800m in running, but done two now, and I'd say 10's are worse for the pain 🤪]


Report from Paul Heggie on FB:
5 Mile Championships tonight
Nearly didn't run-few helpers. Thanks to
Steve Myatt for timing and Christine Minto for marshalling.
A fast night - new Birdwell course record by
Keith Ainsworth of Sheffrec in 10m 08s beating the old mark of Ben Harvey from 2013 by 11 seconds!!
Cheers
Paul - sub 10 if I’d warmed up more Sheffrec Club Record too...
