DGTri Athlete Report - Barry Farrugia


B’KARA ST. JOSEPH RUNNING SERIES MTARFA 5K – RACE 1

A year on my first Mtarfa 5k, a steady track which I enjoy racing mainly because it is held in the evening.

The weather was perfect, warm with a slight cool breeze. I was well prepared and had high hopes on this one!

Last year, I did this same track in 19:36, finished 19th overall (which wasn’t bad being the first 5k I ever competed in.)

The race started at 19:30 sharp, I had a very strong and constant pace throughout. Finishing the race with my final ‘signature move’ the sprint J where I overtook another athlete in the end, coming through the finish line at 9th place with my new PB 18:24.

Whilst looking forward for the next Mtarfa 5k on the 26th of July, I dedicate my PB’s and success to my coach Dermot, “ thanks coach!!”
