Time For A Time Trial

 Just to make sure things hadn't changed too much since last Saturday I thought I might as well do another time trial and this time I opted for a 5 miler. I took the professional approach and decided on the negative split idea, the first half went quite well as I held back slightly but then the plan fell to pieces as I was unable to speed up and if anything I even managed to slow down bit by bit all the way to the finishing line. I had no idea what time to expect before setting off but was hoping it would be anything under 30 minutes. My time was 29 minutes and 02 seconds , I tried to launch myself at the line to get under 29 minutes but it was not to be. The race predictor table states my 10k time should be in the region of 36 minutes 30 seconds.
  So for the Rainton 10k I think I will be happy with anything under 37 minutes and over the moon with a low 36 minuter unless I do another time trial and get another set of different race times.
  I was supposed to be giving blood this week but I will hold on to the red stuff for another few weeks as I'm sure I will need every drop of it come race day, if anything I probably could do with the pint back I gave last time as well.
