Gold Coast 10K.
SUNDAY 3/7/05, 9.30AM, 14K (4K warmup, 10K race), WEEKLY TOTAL 79K, 4 HOURS SLEEP
I flew up to GC just after lunch Saturday and spent much of Sunday morning watching the GC marathoners and half marathoners doing their thing before lining up in the 10K. I was hoping to better yesterday's result from Homebush.
Sunny and 19 degrees, but it felt warmer.
I accelerated gradually through the first 3K before settling into an average of 4.10min/km. Legs felt a bit sore but I was moving well and felt fluid. After the turnaround I started to contemplate a 41.30 finish (which I'd be very happy with!) when the proverbial house of bricks fell on me just before the 7K mark and I battled in for 42.40.
A combination of the aftereffects of yesterdays race and some lingering endocrinal fatigue from the rogaine I think. Again, I'll be conservative this week so I'm fresh next weekend for my ramp up to Glasshouse. At least I got some solid speedwork in this weekend.
My splits:
1K 4.14
3K 8.17 (12.31, missed 2K sign)
5K 8.19 (20.50, missed 4K sign)
6K 4.10 (25.01)
7K 4.16 (29.17)
8K 4.27 (33.44)
9K 4.27 (38.12)
10K 4.27 (42.40)

Heh Net Time shows you did 42:14 - so you must have sprinted that last km.
Well done. I know you weren't happy but I think you did great. Especially for someone not eating and training so much :)
