DANIEL HE
How many 10k or 5k events have you run?
Too many to count, but these days mainly as part of a triathlon.
What sort of split do you intend to run?
Even split. With just enough reserve to make a dash for the finish in the last few hundred meters.
What's the worst joke that you've ever told/heard while pacing?
Runner to pacer: Hey mate, slow down a bit
Pacer : why?
Runner: we dropped the Kenyans at the last drink station. Let's wait till they catch up.

Sydney Running Festival Bridge Run (9km 2009)
What sort of split do you intend to run?
As close to the 4:30min/km even splits.
What's the worst joke that you've ever told/heard while pacing?
Buzz (From the side): 2k's to go, drop that pacer!
Me: I didn't realise running was such a violent sport... Does that mean I get to take your flag?
Pacer: I'm sure that's not what he meant! Or did he?

5/10km Events – 18
What sort of split do you intend to run?
As it is a fairly flat course I plan to run 5min/km splits
What's the worst joke that you've ever told/heard while pacing?
I went into a sports shop and picked up a pair of trainers. The assistant asked if I needed help.
‘I wondered if these are for overpronators,’ I said. ‘No madam,’ replied the assistant, 'they’re for runners!'
ANDREW CHUTER

STEVE KIBBLE
How many 10k or 5k events have you run?
Not sure probably well over a hundred 10k, been running for a long time now.
What sort of split do you intend to run?
I will run even 5:30 min/km pace as I’m pacing the 55min group, and I think I’m relatively good at it as I’ve paced a lot of races now. :-)
What's the worst joke that you've ever told/heard while pacing?
“I went to the zoo the other day and it was really lousy, they only had a dog – it was a Shitzu!"
RICHARD WILLCOCK
How many 10k or 5k events have you run?
I don’t remember how many 10kms and 5 kms have run. This year I have run the RunNSW Nowra 8km, the 5 x Striders 10kms,
the SMH Half and the Paris Marathon (that’s where my photo comes from!!)
What sort of split do you intend to run?
I’ll be following Steve’s lead -as the more experienced pacer. Left to my own devices, I’d probably try to do the first 5 km at 5.25
and allow room for a positive split at 5.35 in the second 5 km.
GILBERT GADDI
How many 10k or 5k events have you run?
Too many parkruns and Strider events to count. I am too lazy to count. :)
