Ready... Beeeep
and the athletes were off - one lap of the park and two big laps to complete
arguably the most competitive 5km road event of the year to date!
Thirty-four lined up for a staggered start with athletes representing all
youth and senior categories, with six Cambodian youth athletes taking part.
Andarge, Muyngim, Sovanpanhaseth and Sreyleap topped their respective
categories in a race featuring several impressive efforts with six athletes under 20 minutes, sixteen under 25 minutes and twenty-five under 30.
James scored
a strong 15-second PB to take third overall, but was just outside his top
points performance from the recent 10km race. Guanghui and Vannak both paced by Jack scored big PBs, respectively knocking
44s and 57s off their previous bests and coming in comfortably under their
20-minute target.
The biggest PBs of the morning were for Senghong and Sanket, both going under
30 minutes for the first time with respective PB margins of 5:01 and 2:16,
followed by Dickson reducing his PB by 1:17 to go under 22 minutes for the
first time. Ten athletes improved on their 5km times overall, with Elizabeth,
Lorinda and Sreyleap and Pasi also scoring PBs.
James was the most consistent performer of the morning, with the five most
consistent athletes filling all places between second and sixth in the
overall finishing order. There were big +90 point PBs for Vannak and Dickson,
as well as new points PBs for Pasi, Chandara and Elizabeth.
Thanks for the support from a large contingent of SuSu youth helpers this
week along with race officials Seavleang, Sivmuyleng and club president Meyjou. Thanks to Seavmey, Piseth and
Dickson for photos and video and finally thank you to all participants and to
those supporting the club through donations and contributing in other ways.
