5000m sub 16
Last wednesday the time was ripe: My first track race since over 12 months, and my first 5000m race since more than 2 years (last time was in Äänekoski/FIN back in July 2005, result was 16:47,52).
This time the race took place in Saarijärvi and I ran a 15:56,17. After some days I can say that it was just what I exoected - not more and not less. I guess the fact that I won the competition made me think it's a a very good performance immediately after the race - when the endorpine level was quite high. However, in terms of the half-marathon preparation (beginning of September) it fits perfectly in the schedule. Also the recovery was very good and I wasn't feeling tired the next days at all.
