Fri pm - 5x minutes = 13km around home and the bush tracks
Sat - rest
Sun - Arrived at the Finish for the shuttle bus at 5:15am and they had already left. Thanks to Blue Dog for the lift to the Start line. Running along with Mustafa for about 8km quite comfortable and had to run off him cause his watch was annoying me, beeping at every step. Then started to feel good once at the high point of the course at about 11km. Felt good till about 32km, but just took a bit of the gas. My wife said I looked very relaxed when I ran past her at 41km.
5km splits - 17:20, 17.01, 16.43, 16.10 (3.40 + 12.46 = 15.26), 16.36, 17.06, 16.58, 7.55 = 2.22.19
Half way - 1.10.56
A well organised event, good to finish on a track. The last few kilometers needed better organising to run on paths rather than soggy grass. The bike path is sensational for running none the less, no camber, well spaced and hills only marginal up and down, which makes for interesting running. We were blessed with a good weather as well.
158km for the week. Now for some serious strength and speed work. 4 weeks out from National Cross, 5 from hopefully PB 10k and 7 from Sydney marathon.
