New PB in 5000m. After 13 years I returned to Porvoo track & field arena to catch another personal record in this distance. 1K splits approx. 3.18 – 3.10 – 3.10 – 3.14 – 3.02. It started out a bit too slow, then Jari took the pole and set the right pace. I was leading the last 6 laps save for the final 100 meters when Jari went his way. Last lap something like 69 sec. Overall a very good run and I didn’t feel like dead at the end (compared to 15.59 a year ago). I am happy with this result and won’t do any more 5Ks this year. Next up is 10000 metres 23rd August and then the marathon in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
