Our November race was delayed by torrential overnight rain for an eventual 6:40 am start and despite the inclement early morning we had an excellent turnout with all starters finishing in 19 to 34 minutes.
This week Neil led the front pack at around 20 minute pace leading to more
great individual performances. Any runners interested in pacing to different
target times in future events (20, 25, 30 minutes etc.) let us know if you
would like a pacer, or would like to guide the pace yourselves.
The race report and full results are below, and you
can find our upcoming 5km race schedule at the
bottom of the page (see you next on 10 December).
Craig and Anna were the category leaders this week. Six runners with previously recorded times set personal bests (PB), improving on previous times by margins between 1.3s to 1:13. Two runners dipped below 20 minutes for their first time in a PPAC 5km race.
We were pleased to see regular runners continue to improve, with consistent performances and some PBs (and almost PBs!) across all levels of performance.
Analysis and Consistency
We had five great sub-1.00 rated
pacing performances this week and 16/21 runners scoring under 10. The Pacing
Consistency rating is an algorithm designed to give runners an idea of how
well they have balanced their efforts across the race. Ratings under 1.00
indicate excellent pacing, and the lower the number, the better, in general,
for overall optimum performance.
A special thanks as always to our volunteer officials and helpers on the morning - Seavleang, Kimkheang, Yonas, Jack and Michele.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all the runners and supporters who made this running event a success, especially after the long rain delay!
