Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Lucy O'Connell #1387 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Controlled 5K Effort Lucy ran 5.00 km in 25:50, averaging 5:10/km at Run The Wharf. She finished 382nd woman and 102nd in the female 1825 category out of 5,624 total participants. Her pacing was notably steady through 4 km, with kilometres of 5:12, 5:10, 5:19, and 5:11, before closing with her fastest kilometre in 5:01. That final kilometre stands out most: she cut 18 seconds from her 3rd km and 10 seconds from her average race pace. She also improved her overall position from 1,571 at 1 km to 1,456 by 34 km, showing good mid-race progress. From a coaching view, this was a controlled run with a strong finish; the next step is to bring a little more of that closing speed into the middle kilometres.
