East Metropolitan CC Race, Mutch Park.
SATURDAY 9/7/05, 2.30PM, 8K, WEEK TO DATE 63.5K, 6 HOURS SLEEP
Late night on the drink, got up at 10am feeling reasonable, after brunch headed over to Mutch Park at Pagewood for the East Metropolitan CC 6K race there. I thought it started at 3pm, so when I turned up at 2.25pm and found it was a 2.30 start, I had no time for a warmup- just started racing!
The course was three laps of a 2K course over a mix of grass, earth, hills, dirt road, trees etc. Paul Arthur won. I ran 24.49 and was happy with that. My Garmin measured the course as 6.14K, Vat had it as 6.2K. If it was an accurate 6K, I averaged 4.08min/km, if 6.14, then I did 4.03- happy either way. My splits were 8.08, 16.38 (8.30), 24.49 (8.11).
Somewhat cloudy, 18 degrees with a cool north westerly breeze. Slow 2K warm down with Vat and Amjan.
Skizzik took a number of photos of the race, my thanks, here are a few....
Pair of reprobates before the start.
Near the end of the first lap.
Finishing.
