This week Andarge led early from the front at sub 3:30 min/km pace before finishing in the fastest 5km time of 2023 and scoring a 20th first place PPAC 5km finish. The top overall performer was Muyngim, with her time of 20:32 scoring 714 points.
The race report and full results are below, and see you soon with our 2024 schedule!
ResultsAndarge, Muyngim, Samnang and Lorry were the category leaders this week. Eleven runners with previously recorded times set personal bests (PB), improving on previous times by a wide range of margins between 10.0s and 6:44. Four runners finished comfortably below 30 minutes for their first time in a PPAC 5km race, all improving their previous best times by more than 3 minutes.
We were pleased to see regular runners continue to improve, with consistent performances and PBs across all levels of performance.
Analysis and Consistency
We had six sub-1.00 rated pacing
performances this week, including the top pacing rating of the year (and
top-3 all time) of 0.05 for Sharon Lui, and 21/32 finishers scoring under
10. The Pacing Consistency rating is 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 optimum performance.
Several runners hit club milestones with Ma
Mon taking part in her 25th event and Muyngim and Sanket both participating
for the 20th time - well done!
