...tonight  Running a 5k race on an apparently "fast" route (to me 5k is 5k).
Nervous as I have never raced before but confident I will get a good time....I hope!
So will I or won't I - break the 20min barrier? Which to me is good for a 6'4 15 stoner.
(good vibes appreciated)

You generally will run faster in a race
a) Your are racing against others
b) Adrenaline levels will be higher as opposed to training
Good Luck

I used to feel buzzing when i raced on a big occasion, didnt really feel fatigue afterwards, my training in the following few days would be amazing too

Yep...running in the white wave. Looking forward to that one as I like the 10k distance better than 5k...

good luck
19mins is about the time I run these things nowadays. Though my best time was 15:40 (10 years ago).
Just don't let the adrenaline surge burn you out to soon. Take it easy. And warm yourself up well before.

Yeah majority of runners running tonights are all 14-17min over 5k so I am going to be towards the back but I got to start somewhere I would like to get sub 20/19 one day but I think I would have to drop the weights to do that.
yeah, you need to set your priorities
I tend to avoid racing nowawdays but my kids are both athletes and I keep getting roped into road races 
but I still run ca. 28km each week. Just very slowly
