10K PB 33.38 - Dunshaughlin 10km

Shocked and very surprised with my PB today at the Dunshaughlin 10k. I've had two huge nights on the beer and I wasn't feeling great all day. On Thursday night, I went out for beers with my Da and 3 Brothers (Big Phil, Derek and Christopher). After about 7 pints of guinness I told Phil for the next round I'll have a glass of beer. He was having none it (lines like no brother of mine is going to drink a glass, your embrassing the family etc..you'd have to know Phil to understand). Anyhow Friday was spent recovering and I went into the city to meet up with Jo and Ken for dinner and promised myself that I'd only have a few drinks. Kidding myself as we hit Brogans and Jo started to talk to the lead singer of the Frames Glen Hansard and recent oscar winner for the indie flick Once. We ended up talking until Brogans closed and Glen invited us back to a late bar. We finished up at 3am which meant Ken & Jo only had 2 hours sleep as they were due to catch a flight to the UK. They missed the flight - sorry guys and I was dying all day. So I figured I'd skip the 10k but Big Phil my Bro convinced me to head down and give it a shot.
Went throu' the first Km in 3.20 and 3k in 10 mins flat. I felt great I couldn't believe it, I kept an eye on my garmin and was keen to keep the pace at 3.20. Went throu' 5k in 16.42 and I knew there was a few hills in the 2nd half but I felt really strong pushing up the hills and caught quite a few people on the long drag up to 8k. I knew at this stage the pb was in the bag. There was a bit of a head wind but I just tucked in behind a guy and put a kick in with 300m left to cross the line in 33.38 - a massive pb. The course is offically IAAF measured so it will be nice to move further away from Durante on the striders list ;) Heading out for more beers now..
