Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Nicholas Wood #858 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Solid 5K, Late-Race Fade Nicholas ran 5.00 km in 23:27, averaging 4:41/km. He placed 909th of 5,624 overall, which puts him in the top 16% of the field, and 110th in the M3135 division. His fastest kilometre was the opening 1 km in 4:29, and he reached 2 km in 9:04 at 4:32/km. After 2 km, the pace eased to 4:47, 4:55, then 4:42 for the final 3 km. That closing kilometre was a good response after the slowest section at 4 km. The main opportunity is pacing: the gap between the first and fourth kilometres was 26 seconds, so a slightly more controlled start could help him hold closer to his early rhythm deeper into the race. In a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf, that steadier middle section could trim time next outing.
